Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
What this work can involve
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- 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 Tyldesley?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Greater Manchester the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

How long does it take to install a loading bay in Tyldesley?
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 Tyldesley 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.

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 Tyldesley site.
