What to specify
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Horsham?
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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Horsham
Which bollards suit our Horsham 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 much do bollards cost to install in Horsham?
Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Horsham.
Can you protect our existing doors in Horsham?
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.
