What to specify
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- 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.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
What this work can involve
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Salisbury, 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Salisbury vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Can you protect our existing doors in Salisbury?
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.
Can bollards at our Salisbury 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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Salisbury 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.
