What we fit in Barry
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Barry, 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

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.
Which bollards suit our Barry 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.
