Quick answer
Ageing bays at your Dyfed warehouse? Across Wales, 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.

Options that matter on site
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
What this work can involve
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- 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 Dyfed, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Dyfed can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
