What to specify
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- 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.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
What this work can involve
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Droitwich 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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
