Options that matter on site
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- 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.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Shirley?
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.
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.
