Typical scopes of work

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Nottinghamshire 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

Bollards and door protection in Nottinghamshire: your questions

Can bollards at our Nottinghamshire 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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Nottinghamshire 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.

Which bollards suit our Nottinghamshire 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.
