Bollards and door protection in Redditch

Quick answer

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

Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.

What this work can involve

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.
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 Redditch 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.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Redditch can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Bollards and door protection in Redditch: your questions

Which bollards suit our Redditch 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.

Do you replace dock bumpers across Worcestershire?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Worcestershire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

Can bollards at our Redditch 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.
