What we fit in Truro
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
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 Truro?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Truro 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.
