What we fit in Kingswood

Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.

Typical scopes of work

Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Kingswood the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Access, phasing and timing

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Kingswood

How long does it take to install a loading bay in Kingswood?

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 Gloucestershire?

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.

What safety systems should our Kingswood 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.
