What we fit in Daventry
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Jobs we can carry out
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Daventry 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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
