What we fit in Maldon
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
Typical scopes of work
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Maldon 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.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
