- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.

Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Whitley Bay 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
Most installations in Whitley Bay can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
