In short
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Halewood 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
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Halewood, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Halewood vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
