What we fit in Nottingham
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
Typical scopes of work
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Nottingham, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Nottingham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
