- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Typical scopes of work
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Bracknell?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Bracknell vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
