Before we dig in Bradford
The highway authority for local roads in Bradford is Bradford Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Warehouse impact bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Bradford is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Bradford Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
External yard bollards can be root-fixed in concrete foundations, with the usual checks for buried drainage and cables. The slab is the foundation, and it decides what can be fixed where.
- Check with the building owner before drilling into slabs with underfloor heating, guidance wires or post-tensioned reinforcement.
- Keep fire exits, escape routes and fire equipment accessible; bollards must not narrow escape routes below their required width.
Installation, step by step
Walk the site with the vehicles running
At the free site survey we watch traffic routes, note the vehicles and loads, and look for existing damage that shows where impacts happen. You receive a fixed written quote with each position and product listed.
Check the slab
Slab thickness, joints, cracks and any underfloor services or heating are checked, and anchors are chosen for the floor rather than taken from a standard list.
Drill and anchor
Holes are drilled, cleaned and anchors installed to the maker's instructions. Chemical anchors are left to cure before the bollard is loaded.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Polymer impact bollards | Flex and recover on impact, reducing damage to anchors, floor and vehicle. Need clearance to deflect. |
| Diameters and heights | Commonly 114–273 mm diameter and around 600–1,200 mm high, chosen for vehicle type and mast or fork height. |
| Door frame protection | Bollards or low barriers either side of dock doors and roller shutters to protect frames and guides. |
What affects the quote
Two Bradford jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Out-of-hours or phased working around operations
- Removal of damaged existing protection
- Steel or polymer bollards and the impact performance needed
Keeping them working
Persistent strikes in one place often mean the route or turning space needs changing rather than heavier protection. Inspect warehouse bollards regularly as part of routine site checks, and after any reported impact.
If posts in Bradford are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

What size bollard do we need for forklifts?
That depends on the forklift's weight with load and how fast it travels near the asset, not just the post diameter. Tested products state their impact performance, which can be compared with your fleet. We size from your vehicles at the survey.
Can bollards be fixed to a thin warehouse floor?
Sometimes, using larger base plates, through-bolts or polymer bollards that reduce anchor loads. If the slab is too thin or damaged, a new local foundation may be needed. We check the slab before recommending a fixing.
