What we fit in Greenford
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Greenford 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
