What we fit in Redcar
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
What this work can involve
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Redcar?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
