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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Crawley can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

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 Crawley 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 Crawley?

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.
