Options that matter on site
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
What this work can involve
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Huyton?
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.
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.
