What this work can involve

Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Caerphilly 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

Sites in and around Caerphilly 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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Caerphilly 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.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Caerphilly?

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.

Which bollards suit our Caerphilly 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.
