What we fit in Dukinfield
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Jobs we can carry out
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dukinfield?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
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 Dukinfield
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Greater Manchester?
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.
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Dukinfield?
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 Dukinfield 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.
