What to specify
- 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.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Jobs we can carry out
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Johnstone 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
Sites in and around Johnstone vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
