Jobs we can carry out
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.

- 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 Felixstowe?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
