Bollards and door protection in Wellingborough

The short version

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

What we fit in Wellingborough

Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.

Typical scopes of work

Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Wellingborough?

The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.

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.

Bollards and door protection in Wellingborough: your questions

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough?

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.

Can bollards at our Wellingborough site be replaced after a strike?

Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
