Options for complete loading bays in Crewe
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
What this work can involve
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Crewe?
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.
How the work is organised
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.
