Options that matter on site
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Aldridge, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Aldridge 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.

Bollards and door protection in Aldridge: your questions
Which bollards suit our Aldridge 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.
Can bollards at our Aldridge 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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Aldridge 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.
