What we fit in Grangemouth

Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.

Jobs we can carry out

Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Grangemouth 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Forth Valley the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Grangemouth without closing the site?

Yes. Bays can be refurbished one at a time so the others stay in use, and work can be done out of hours where needed. Each bay is commissioned before we move on to the next.

Can a loading bay be added to our Grangemouth unit without a pit?

Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.

Do you work on new-build loading bays around Forth Valley?

Yes. We supply pit, opening and embedded steel details to your design team and groundworks contractor early, then install and commission doors, levellers, shelters and accessories to the main contractor's programme.
