Options that matter on site
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Shropshire?
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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in the West Midlands 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.

Questions from businesses in Shropshire
Can bollards at our Shropshire 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 Shropshire?
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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Shropshire?
Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Shropshire.
