Jobs we can carry out

Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
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 Ryde, 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.

How the work is organised

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.

Complete loading bays in Ryde: your questions

Can a loading bay be added to our Ryde unit without a pit?

Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Ryde without closing the site?

Yes. Bays can be refurbished one at a time so the others stay in use, and work can be done out of hours where needed. Each bay is commissioned before we move on to the next.

What safety systems should our Ryde loading bays have?

That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.
