How bollards protect a truck dock
The dock is the highest-repeat impact zone on most commercial sites. A trailer reverses onto it several times a day, guided by mirrors and a spotter who is not always there, and the margin either side is measured in inches.
Protect Doors, Levellers & Dock Corners
Security Bollard Direct supplies and installs dock protection bollards throughout the Greater Toronto Area, for the highest-repeat impact zone on most commercial sites.
Strong protection where it matters most
Our commercial bollards can be installed around:
- Dock corners and the wall either side of the opening
- Overhead door tracks and jambs
- Dock levellers, bumpers and their fixings
- Control panels and door operators
- Stairs, ramps and man doors beside the dock
- Trailer restraints and lighting
Why truck docks need bollards
Even a low-speed vehicle impact can cause significant damage. A professionally planned installation can help:
- Impact is taken by a replaceable post, not the building structure
- Doors keep sealing, so heating and cooling costs stay put
- A dock stays in service instead of being taken out for repair
- Damage becomes a scheduled replacement rather than an emergency
Dock Door & Corner Protection Bollards
A trailer reverses onto the dock several times a day, guided by mirrors and a spotter who is not always there, with inches of margin either side. Corners, door tracks, levellers and control panels absorb the misses.
Surface-mounted bollards on a base plate take that impact instead of the building, and can be swapped without breaking up the apron. Dock bollards are consumable, and that is the point: they are cheaper and quicker to replace than a door track.

Expect to replace them, and plan for it
Dock bollards are consumable. The point is that they are cheaper and quicker to swap than a door track or a corner of the building. Surface-mounted units on a base plate can be changed without breaking up the apron.
