What to specify
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Brixton?
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.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Brixton can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
