What to specify
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
What this work can involve
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Farnham?
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.

That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.
