Options that matter on site
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Dumbarton 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
