Options for complete loading bays in Oxfordshire
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
What this work can involve
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Oxfordshire, 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
Sites in and around Oxfordshire vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
