Options that matter on site

Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
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.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.

Typical scopes of work

Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Weston-super-Mare 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.
