Options for bollards and door protection in Selby

Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.

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.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Selby, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Can you protect our existing doors in Selby?

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.

Do you replace dock bumpers across North Yorkshire?

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

Which bollards suit our Selby 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.
