Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Brighouse 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

Dock shelters and seals in Brighouse: your questions

Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around West Yorkshire?

Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across West Yorkshire, 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 Brighouse?

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.
