What to specify
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Farnborough, 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
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.
