Options that matter on site

Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.

Typical scopes of work

Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Banbury 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
