Options for complete loading bays in Shepherd's Bush
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
What this work can involve
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Shepherd's Bush, 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.
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.

Your questions about complete loading bays
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Shepherd's Bush 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.
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Shepherd's Bush?
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.
What safety systems should our Shepherd's Bush 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.
