What we fit in Leominster
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- 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 Leominster, 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
What safety systems should our Leominster 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 you refurbish our loading bays in Leominster 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.
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Leominster?
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.
