Options for bollards and door protection in Whitley Bay
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
What this work can involve
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- 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 Whitley Bay?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Whitley Bay 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.

Questions from businesses in Whitley Bay
Do you replace dock bumpers across Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Tyne and Wear, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Whitley Bay 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.
Can bollards at our Whitley Bay 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.
