Options for complete loading bays in Swansea

Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.

What this work can involve

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.
Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Swansea 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 Swansea 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.
