Options for complete loading bays in Droylsden
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Typical scopes of work
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- 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 Droylsden?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
