What we fit in Bexley
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
What this work can involve
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Bexley, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Greater London 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.
