Options that matter on site
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Wellington, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Shropshire 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.

Bollards and door protection in Wellington: your questions
Which bollards suit our Wellington 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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Shropshire?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Shropshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How much do bollards cost to install in Wellington?
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 Wellington.
