What to specify

Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Letchworth Garden City, 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

Sites in and around Letchworth Garden City vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
