Options that matter on site
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- 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
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Falkirk 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
