The short version
Loading bays take a beating from reversing trailers. At sites in Ystradgynlais, we can replace worn dock bumpers, add wheel guides and fit corner bollards to protect doors, levellers, shelters and the building itself.

Options that matter on site
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Ystradgynlais?
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
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.

Bollards and door protection in Ystradgynlais: your questions
Do you replace dock bumpers across Powys?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Powys, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Ystradgynlais?
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 bollards at our Ystradgynlais 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.
