What to specify
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
What this work can involve
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Littlehampton?
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
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 Littlehampton
How much do bollards cost to install in Littlehampton?
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 Littlehampton.
Can bollards at our Littlehampton site be replaced after a strike?
Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
Which bollards suit our Littlehampton 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.
