Options for bollards and door protection in Bridgend

Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.

What this work can involve

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
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.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bridgend the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Mid Glamorgan 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.

Questions from businesses in Bridgend

Can bollards at our Bridgend site be replaced after a strike?

Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.

Which bollards suit our Bridgend warehouse?

Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.

Do you replace dock bumpers across Mid Glamorgan?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Mid Glamorgan, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
