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

Options that matter on site
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Typical scopes of work
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Cookstown?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

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