Options that matter on site
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Llandrindod Wells?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work

Questions from businesses in Llandrindod Wells
Can bollards at our Llandrindod Wells 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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Llandrindod Wells?
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.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Llandrindod Wells?
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.
