In short
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Limavady site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

Options that matter on site
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Limavady?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Limavady can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Limavady site?
We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.
Do you replace dock bumpers across County Londonderry?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across County Londonderry, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Limavady?
Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
