Options that matter on site
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- 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.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Kirkby-in-Ashfield, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
