Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.

Jobs we can carry out

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.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
