What we fit in Mansfield

Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
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 Mansfield 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

Sites in and around Mansfield vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Mansfield

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Mansfield 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.

Do you replace dock bumpers across Nottinghamshire?

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

Can bollards at our Mansfield 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.
