What we fit in Merthyr Tydfil

Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Merthyr Tydfil, 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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Merthyr Tydfil 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.

Questions from businesses in Merthyr Tydfil

Which bollards suit our Merthyr Tydfil 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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Merthyr Tydfil 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.
