Ageing bays at your Ely warehouse? Across Cambridgeshire, loading bays can be refurbished one at a time, with doors, levellers and shelters replaced in turn so the site keeps trading throughout the work.

What we fit in Ely
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Typical scopes of work
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Ely?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
