Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Mid Glamorgan 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.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Mid Glamorgan.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Wales?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Wales, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Mid Glamorgan?
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.
