What to specify
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Nailsea the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
How the work is organised
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.
