Bollards and door protection in Great Yarmouth

In short

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

Town: Great Yarmouth
Postcode district: NR30
Area: Norfolk
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

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

How the work is organised

Questions from businesses in Great Yarmouth

Do you replace dock bumpers across Norfolk?

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

Can you protect our existing doors in Great Yarmouth?

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.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Great Yarmouth?

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.
