Options that matter on site
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Newtown 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
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.
