What we fit in Ealing
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Ealing?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
