What we fit in Neath

Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Neath?

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.

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 Neath

Which bollards suit our Neath 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 Neath?

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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Neath?

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.
