Options for bollards and door protection in Coventry

Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Do you replace dock bumpers across the West Midlands?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across the West Midlands, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Coventry 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.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Coventry?

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.
