Quick answer
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Brecon site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

What we fit in Brecon
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Brecon 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.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Which bollards suit our Brecon 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 you protect our existing doors in Brecon?
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.
Can bollards at our Brecon 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.
