Bollards and door protection in Pontypridd

In short

Loading bays take a beating from reversing trailers. At sites in Pontypridd, we can replace worn dock bumpers, add wheel guides and fit corner bollards to protect doors, levellers, shelters and the building itself.

What to specify

Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
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.

What this work can involve

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Pontypridd 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Pontypridd 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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Pontypridd?

Yes. Guards, buffers and bollards are fitted around existing doors and frames. If a guide or frame is already bent, we recommend repairing it first so the door runs properly behind its new protection.
