What we fit in Kidderminster

Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
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.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.

Loading bay safety in England

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