Options for complete loading bays in Ammanford

Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
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.
Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Ammanford, 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 Ammanford 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can a loading bay be added to our Ammanford 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.

What safety systems should our Ammanford loading bays have?

That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Ammanford 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.
