What to specify
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
What this work can involve
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Pontypool, 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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Gwent 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.

Questions from businesses in Pontypool
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Pontypool 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.
Can a loading bay be added to our Pontypool 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 Gwent?
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.
