Options for bollards and door protection in Berwick-upon-Tweed

Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.

What this work can involve

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Northumberland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Do you replace dock bumpers across Northumberland?

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

Can bollards at our Berwick-upon-Tweed 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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Berwick-upon-Tweed?

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.
