What to specify
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
What this work can involve
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- 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 Cheshunt?
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.
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.
