What we fit in Blairgowrie

Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.

Typical scopes of work

Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

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

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Blairgowrie

What safety systems should our Blairgowrie loading bays have?

That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.

Can a loading bay be added to our Blairgowrie unit without a pit?

Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.

How long does it take to install a loading bay in Blairgowrie?

A single bay with a prepared pit typically takes two to three days, including commissioning the interlocks and lights. New-build projects follow the main programme, and multi-bay refurbishments are phased to suit your operations.
