What to specify
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
What this work can involve
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Blairgowrie?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Perth and Kinross 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you protect our existing doors in Blairgowrie?
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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Perth and Kinross?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Perth and Kinross, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Blairgowrie?
Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
