Options for complete loading bays in Perth
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- 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 Perth 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
Sites in and around Perth 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.
