Options for complete loading bays in Caerphilly
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
What this work can involve
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Caerphilly, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Mid Glamorgan the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
