Options that matter on site
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
What this work can involve
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Dudley, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
