What we fit in Brislington

Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Brislington, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Brislington

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Bristol?

Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Bristol, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.

Can a loading bay be added to our Brislington 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.

How long does it take to install a loading bay in Brislington?

A single bay with a prepared pit typically takes two to three days, including commissioning the interlocks and lights. New-build projects follow the main programme, and multi-bay refurbishments are phased to suit your operations.
