Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your West Yorkshire site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

Options for bollards and door protection in West Yorkshire
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Jobs we can carry out
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including West Yorkshire, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our West Yorkshire site?
We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.
Which bollards suit our West Yorkshire 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.
