Complete loading bays in Twickenham

In short

One team, one survey, one set of dimensions: our complete loading bay service in Twickenham avoids the gaps that appear when doors, levellers and shelters come from different suppliers working to different drawings.

Town: Twickenham
Postcode district: TW1
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.

Jobs we can carry out

Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Twickenham the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

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.

Complete loading bays in Twickenham: your questions

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Twickenham 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 Twickenham 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.

Can a loading bay be added to our Twickenham unit without a pit?

Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.
