What to specify
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Worksop?
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
For busy sites in Nottinghamshire 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
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Worksop 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 Worksop 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.
Can bollards at our Worksop 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.
