Options that matter on site
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- 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 Magherafelt?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
