What we fit in Kinross

Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
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. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.

Jobs we can carry out

Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

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

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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

How long does it take to fit door protection in Kinross?

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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Kinross?

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Kinross 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.
