Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Pudsey 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

For busy sites in West Yorkshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Bollards and door protection in Pudsey: your questions

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Pudsey site?

We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.

Do you replace dock bumpers across West Yorkshire?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across West Yorkshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

Which bollards suit our Pudsey warehouse?

Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
