Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- 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.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
What this work can involve
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Lockerbie, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Dumfries and Galloway 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.
