At a glance
One team, one survey, one set of dimensions: our complete loading bay service in Gwent avoids the gaps that appear when doors, levellers and shelters come from different suppliers working to different drawings.

Options that matter on site
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- 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 Gwent, 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Gwent vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Wales?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Wales, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Wales?
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.
Can a loading bay be added to our Gwent 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.
