The short version
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Bloxwich site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

What to specify
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- 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 Bloxwich?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Bloxwich 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 Bloxwich
Can bollards at our Bloxwich 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.
Which bollards suit our Bloxwich 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 you protect our existing doors in Bloxwich?
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.
