What to specify
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
What this work can involve
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Brighouse 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
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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
How long does it take to fit door protection in Brighouse?
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.
Can bollards at our Brighouse 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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Brighouse?
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 Brighouse.
