Options that matter on site
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
What this work can involve
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Solihull?
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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
