What we fit in Totton
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- 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 Totton, 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
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.
