Jobs we can carry out

Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Barnsley 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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which bollards suit our Barnsley 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 South Yorkshire?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across South Yorkshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Barnsley 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.
