Options that matter on site

Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Burgess Hill 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Questions from businesses in Burgess Hill

Do you replace dock bumpers across West Sussex?

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

Which bollards suit our Burgess Hill 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.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Burgess Hill?

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.
