What we fit in Mitcham
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Typical scopes of work
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Mitcham, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Mitcham vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
