What to specify
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
What this work can involve
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Ebbw Vale, 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
Most installations in Ebbw Vale can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Complete loading bays in Ebbw Vale: your questions
What safety systems should our Ebbw Vale 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.
Can a loading bay be added to our Ebbw Vale 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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Ebbw Vale 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.
