What this work can involve
- Renewing torn side and top curtains on retractable dock shelters damaged by off-centre reversing.

- Restoring a door-to-leveller interlock that has been bypassed and testing the bay sequence before handover.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Hexham 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.

Dock leveller and loading bay repairs in Hexham: your questions
How soon can you repair a leveller at our Hexham site?
We book repair visits as soon as we can and confirm the expected date when you call. We do not promise fixed response times. Photos and the leveller make help us bring likely parts.
Should we repair or replace our leveller in Hexham?
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 Hexham 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.
