Jobs we can carry out

Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

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

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.

Complete loading bays in Helensburgh: your questions

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Helensburgh without closing the site?

Yes. Bays can be refurbished one at a time so the others stay in use, and work can be done out of hours where needed. Each bay is commissioned before we move on to the next.

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Argyll and Bute?

Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Argyll and Bute, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.

Can a loading bay be added to our Helensburgh unit without a pit?

Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.
