Options for bollards and door protection in Frome

Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.

What this work can involve

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
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 Frome?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Frome can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Frome site?

We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.

Can you protect our existing doors in Frome?

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.

Which bollards suit our Frome 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.
