Options that matter on site

Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
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.
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.
Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Tewkesbury 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

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.

Questions from businesses in Tewkesbury

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Tewkesbury 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.

Can a loading bay be added to our Tewkesbury 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.

How much does a complete loading bay cost in Tewkesbury?

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 Tewkesbury site.
