What we fit in Wolverhampton

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.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.

Typical scopes of work

Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.

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

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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Wolverhampton?

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.

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

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.
