Ageing bays at your Hyde warehouse? Across Greater Manchester, loading bays can be refurbished one at a time, with doors, levellers and shelters replaced in turn so the site keeps trading throughout the work.

What we fit in Hyde
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Hyde, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
Can a loading bay be added to our Hyde 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.
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.
What safety systems should our Hyde 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.
