How we look after doors in Tipton
- Safety devices. Safety features checked and repaired so the leveller is safe to use and service.
- Bumpers and guides. New bumpers and guides stop trailers damaging the leveller, shelter and wall.
- Lips and hinges. Bent lips, cracked hinges and worn pins repaired or renewed.
- Shelter repairs. Torn curtains replaced and damaged frames straightened or renewed.
- Hydraulic repairs. Leaks, drift and slow operation traced to their source and fixed.
What this work can involve
- Restoring a door-to-leveller interlock that has been bypassed and testing the bay sequence before handover.
- Replacing a leaking hydraulic cylinder on a dock leveller that drifts down under load.
- Renewing torn side and top curtains on retractable dock shelters damaged by off-centre reversing.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Tipton, 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
Service and repair visits in Tipton are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
