Quick answer
Loading bays take a beating from reversing trailers. At sites in Rotherham, we can replace worn dock bumpers, add wheel guides and fit corner bollards to protect doors, levellers, shelters and the building itself.

What to specify
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Jobs we can carry out
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Rotherham?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can bollards at our Rotherham site be replaced after a strike?
Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Rotherham?
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.
