Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Retford 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
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Your questions about dock leveller and loading bay repairs
Is our dock leveller in Retford safe to use?
If it drifts, drops, leaks significantly, has cracked hinges or damaged toe guards, or will not return to stored position, stop using it and isolate it until it has been inspected and repaired.
Should we repair or replace our leveller in Retford?
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.
Do you repair dock shelters across Nottinghamshire?
Yes. We replace torn curtains, repair bent frames and scissor arms, fix inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew worn bumpers across Nottinghamshire, always quoting a fixed price before ordering made-to-measure parts.
