What we fit in Alloa
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- 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.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
Typical scopes of work
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Alloa?
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.

Complete loading bays in Alloa: your questions
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Alloa?
Complete loading bays are priced on survey, typically £14,995 to £39,995 ex VAT per bay depending on the leveller, shelter, door and safety systems. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your Alloa site.
What safety systems should our Alloa 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 Alloa 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.
