Options for complete loading bays in Rochdale
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Jobs we can carry out
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Rochdale?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
