What to specify
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
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.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Congleton, 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.
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.

Complete loading bays in Congleton: your questions
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Congleton?
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.
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Cheshire?
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 Congleton 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.
