What we fit in Scarborough
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- 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.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Scarborough, 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.
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.
