Loading bay safety in Scotland

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

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Dumfries and Galloway 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can a dock shelter in Lockerbie be fitted with our existing leveller?

Usually, yes. The shelter fits around the dock door and works with most existing levellers, provided the bumpers stop the trailer at the right distance from the wall. We check the bumpers and leveller lip on survey.

Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Dumfries and Galloway?

Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Dumfries and Galloway, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.

Which dock shelter suits our Lockerbie warehouse?

Retractable shelters suit most mixed fleets. Inflatable shelters give a tighter seal for chilled, frozen or sensitive goods. Foam seals suit uniform fleets. We recommend one after recording your vehicles and dock on survey.
