Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Newport (Isle of Wight)?

The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Questions from businesses in Newport (Isle of Wight)

Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Newport (Isle of Wight)?

Yes. Replacement curtains are made to fit the existing frame on most retractable shelters, which is much cheaper than a new shelter. We measure and record the frame on the first visit.

Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around the Isle of Wight?

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

How long does dock shelter installation take in Newport (Isle of Wight)?

Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
