Options for complete loading bays in Elgin

Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.

What this work can involve

Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Elgin the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Access, phasing and timing

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
