Options that matter on site
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
What this work can involve
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Peebles?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
