Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Bishopbriggs, 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.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
