What to specify
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
What this work can involve
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Holloway 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.
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.

Your questions about complete loading bays
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Holloway?
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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Holloway 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 Holloway 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.
