What we fit in Burton upon Trent
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.

Frequently asked questions
Which bollards suit our Burton upon Trent 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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Burton upon Trent?
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.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Burton upon Trent?
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.
