Options that matter on site
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- 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.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Jobs we can carry out
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Hounslow, 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.
