Options for complete loading bays in Cirencester
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Cirencester, 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.
How the work is organised
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 Cirencester: your questions
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Cirencester 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.

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 Cirencester site.

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.
