Loading Bay Barrier System (Patent Pending No: 9921451.2)
Colmil continually strive to improve safety issues within scaffolding. Our latest innovation is the safest loading bay gate system without compromising ease of movement on the market at present.

BS5073:1993 states for Loading Bays that
"where the materials to be stored are to be fed to the platform by mechanical means, removable lengths of guard-rails on the outside face of the Loading Bay should be provided and replaced after loading had been completed".

The Construction (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulation 1996
requires that all scaffolds, including loading bays should have the space between the guard-rail and toe board enclosed by means of a brickguard where any materials are stored above the height of the toe board.

The potential problem of removable guard-rails, toe boards and brickguards is that they may not be replaced after loading has been completed and serious risk of injury then exists as a result of falling.

The prefabricated guard-rail units of a pivotal "up and over" design can, if not lowered to the "down" position, result in the same risks, and additionally could give rise to concern under the Manual Handling Regulations.

The Colmil Sliding Barrier System
has been designed and developed in consultation with the Health & Safety Executive and Independant Safety Consultants.

It is designed to be used in pairs on double width loading bays to provide:

• Simple to Operate Sliding Barrier Gates
• Integral Mesh Brickguards
• Total Safety for Operatives
