Options that matter on site

Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.

What this work can involve

Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
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 King's Lynn 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

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.
