Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Torquay 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

Questions from businesses in Torquay
Do you repair dock shelters across Devon?
Yes. We replace torn curtains, repair bent frames and scissor arms, fix inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew worn bumpers across Devon, always quoting a fixed price before ordering made-to-measure parts.
Should we repair or replace our leveller in Torquay?
Repair is usually the first step. If the platform is cracked, the pit edges are broken or repairs are frequent, we price a replacement into the existing pit alongside the repair so you can compare.
Can loading bay repairs in Torquay be done out of hours?
Yes. Repairs take a bay out of use, so we can work early, late or at weekends where needed, with any extra cost shown in the quote before the visit is booked.
