Options that matter on site

Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.

Jobs we can carry out

Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.

Loading bay safety in England

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