In short
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your South Glamorgan site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

Options that matter on site
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in South Glamorgan 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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our South Glamorgan 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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Wales?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Wales, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
