What we fit in Eastbourne
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Eastbourne?
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 Eastbourne 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.
