Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.

Jobs we can carry out

Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Musselburgh?

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

Most installations in Musselburgh can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
