What to specify
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Magherafelt?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in County Londonderry the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Bollards and door protection in Magherafelt: your questions
How much do bollards cost to install in Magherafelt?
Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Magherafelt.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Magherafelt?
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.
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.
