Options for bollards and door protection in Cramlington

Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Keeping your site running during the work

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Bollards and door protection in Cramlington: your questions

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Cramlington 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 bollards at our Cramlington 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.
