Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Kingston upon Thames?
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
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Kingston upon Thames 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.
What safety systems should our Kingston upon Thames loading bays have?
That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Greater London?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Greater London, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
