Options for complete loading bays in Hucknall
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Hucknall 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.
How the work is organised
