- Restoring a door-to-leveller interlock that has been bypassed and testing the bay sequence before handover.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dartford?
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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

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.
