Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Weston-super-Mare 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Weston-super-Mare
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Somerset?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Somerset, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
Do you repair dock shelters in Weston-super-Mare?
Yes. We straighten or replace bent frames and arms, replace curtains, repair inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew bumpers. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering any made-to-measure parts.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Weston-super-Mare?
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.
