What we fit in Daventry
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Daventry 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
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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Daventry 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 Daventry?
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.
Which bollards suit our Daventry 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.
