What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Bournemouth, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

How the work is organised

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 Bournemouth

Can you repair our dock leveller in Bournemouth if you did not install it?

Yes. We repair most makes of hydraulic and mechanical leveller. If original parts are no longer made, we look for compatible alternatives or explain why replacement into the existing pit may be better.

Do you repair dock shelters across Dorset?

Yes. We replace torn curtains, repair bent frames and scissor arms, fix inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew worn bumpers across Dorset, always quoting a fixed price before ordering made-to-measure parts.

Should we repair or replace our leveller in Bournemouth?

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.
