Options for complete loading bays in Godalming
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Typical scopes of work
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- 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 Godalming 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.
How the work is organised
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.
