What we fit in Oadby
- 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.
- 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.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Jobs we can carry out
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Oadby?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Oadby 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.
