Options for bollards and door protection in Lichfield
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Lichfield 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Lichfield vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Can you protect our existing doors in Lichfield?
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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Lichfield 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.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Lichfield?
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.
