What this work can involve

Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Cleethorpes?

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

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.

Your questions about complete loading bays

Can a loading bay be added to our Cleethorpes 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.

What safety systems should our Cleethorpes 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.

Do you work on new-build loading bays around Lincolnshire?

Yes. We supply pit, opening and embedded steel details to your design team and groundworks contractor early, then install and commission doors, levellers, shelters and accessories to the main contractor's programme.
