Options that matter on site
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Typical scopes of work
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Merthyr Tydfil, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Merthyr Tydfil vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
