Options for complete loading bays in Liverpool

Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.

Jobs we can carry out

Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Liverpool the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

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.

Questions from businesses in Liverpool

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Liverpool 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.

Can a loading bay be added to our Liverpool 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.

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

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.
