Options that matter on site

Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
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 Jarrow 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Jarrow

How much do bollards cost to install in Jarrow?

Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Jarrow.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Jarrow?

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 Jarrow 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.
