Options for complete loading bays in Oakham
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- 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.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
What this work can involve
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Oakham?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Planning the work around your site
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.
