Straight Lorry Wheel Guides | Heavy Duty Loading Bay Wheel Guides
UK Manufactured Loading Bay Wheel Guides with Fast 2-3 Day Lead Times
Protect your loading bays, improve driver accuracy and reduce costly vehicle impact damage with our heavy-duty Straight Lorry Wheel Guides.
Manufactured in Britain by The Metal Hut, these robust loading bay wheel guides are designed to help HGVs, articulated lorries, rigid trucks and commercial vehicles align safely and accurately when reversing onto loading bays.
Constructed from heavy-duty structural steel and finished in a high-visibility safety yellow powder coating, our wheel guides provide a simple but highly effective solution for protecting loading bay infrastructure while improving operational safety.
Unlike many imported alternatives, our wheel guides are manufactured in-house in the UK, allowing us to offer rapid 2-3 working day lead times alongside exceptional build quality and customer support.
Why Install Loading Bay Wheel Guides?
Loading bay wheel guides help direct vehicle wheels into the correct position during reversing manoeuvres, ensuring trailers and lorries approach loading bays accurately and consistently.
By physically guiding the vehicle into position, wheel guides significantly reduce the risk of:
✓ Damage to loading bay structures
✓ Impact damage to dock levellers
✓ Damage to dock shelters and loading bay doors
✓ Vehicle alignment issues
✓ Costly repairs and downtime
✓ Safety risks for warehouse personnel
For warehouses, distribution centres, logistics hubs and manufacturing facilities, wheel guides are one of the most effective ways to improve loading bay safety and protect valuable infrastructure.
Manufactured In Britain
Our wheel guides are manufactured by The Metal Hut in Britain using high-quality structural steel.
By manufacturing in-house, we maintain complete control over quality, lead times and customer service while ensuring every wheel guide is built to withstand the demands of busy industrial environments.
Whether you're upgrading an existing loading bay or specifying equipment for a new warehouse development, our British-made wheel guides provide a reliable long-term solution.
High Visibility Safety Yellow Powder Coating
Every wheel guide is finished in a durable safety yellow powder coating.
The bright yellow finish provides excellent visibility for drivers approaching the loading bay, helping improve positioning accuracy while enhancing overall site safety.
The powder coated finish also provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor use in demanding industrial environments.
Fast 2-3 Working Day Lead Times
We understand that loading bay projects often operate to tight schedules.
Because we manufacture our wheel guides in-house, standard products are typically dispatched within just 2-3 working days, helping minimise project delays and reduce downtime.

What Are Wheel Guides?
Wheel guides, sometimes referred to as lorry wheel guides, loading bay wheel guides, HGV wheel guides, dock wheel guides or truck wheel guides, are installed alongside loading bay approaches to guide vehicles safely into position.
As a vehicle reverses, the tyres contact the guide rails, helping drivers maintain the correct approach angle and align accurately with the loading bay.
This simple system significantly reduces accidental impacts and improves efficiency across busy loading operations.
Why Choose Straight Wheel Guides?
Straight wheel guides are the most popular choice for loading bays with a clear vehicle approach.
They provide reliable guidance while remaining cost-effective, easy to install and suitable for most industrial loading environments.
For sites requiring additional vehicle guidance due to restricted access or difficult approach angles, our Cranked Wheel Guides may be a more suitable solution.
Custom Wheel Guides Available
If your project requires bespoke dimensions or a customised wheel guide system, please contact our team.
We can manufacture custom wheel guides to suit specific loading bay layouts and operational requirements.
