Jobs we can carry out

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Twickenham 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.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Bollards and door protection in Twickenham: your questions

Which bollards suit our Twickenham 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 Greater London?

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

How long does it take to fit door protection in Twickenham?

Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
