What we fit in Haverhill
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Haverhill, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Planning the work around your site
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
