Options for complete loading bays in Nailsea
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Typical scopes of work
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- 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 England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Nailsea 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
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.
