What we fit in Brighouse
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- 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.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Jobs we can carry out
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Brighouse 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
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.
