Options for bollards and door protection in Swansea

High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.

What this work can involve

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.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Swansea 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

Sites in and around Swansea 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 Swansea

How much do bollards cost to install in Swansea?

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 Swansea.

Which bollards suit our Swansea 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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Swansea 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.
