Options for complete loading bays in Oban

Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.

Examples of work we can quote for

Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Oban?

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

For busy sites in Argyll and Bute the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
