What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Aldershot, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Aldershot vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Dock shelters and seals in Aldershot: your questions
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Hampshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Hampshire, 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 Aldershot 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.
