What to specify

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
