Options for complete loading bays in Hailsham
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
What this work can involve
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Hailsham the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Hailsham 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.
