Options for bollards and door protection in East Grinstead

Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in East Grinstead 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.
