Options for complete loading bays in Angus and Dundee
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Angus and Dundee, 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
For busy sites in Scotland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Complete loading bays in Angus and Dundee: your questions
Can a loading bay be added to our Angus and Dundee unit without a pit?
Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Scotland?
Yes. We supply pit, opening and embedded steel details to your design team and groundworks contractor early, then install and commission doors, levellers, shelters and accessories to the main contractor's programme.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Angus and Dundee without closing the site?
Yes. Bays can be refurbished one at a time so the others stay in use, and work can be done out of hours where needed. Each bay is commissioned before we move on to the next.
