What we fit in Harlow
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
What this work can involve
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- 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 Harlow?
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 Harlow 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.
