Complete loading bays in Fraserburgh

In short

From traffic lights and interlocks to vehicle restraints and loading houses, we fit the safety systems a busy loading bay in Fraserburgh needs, alongside the door, leveller and shelter they control.

Town: Fraserburgh
Postcode district: AB43
Area: Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.

What this work can involve

Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Fraserburgh 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.

How the work is organised

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.
