Options for bollards and door protection in Perth
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Typical scopes of work
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Perth 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
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 bollards at our Perth 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.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Perth?
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 Perth?
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.
