Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.

Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in County Armagh 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.
