Options for complete loading bays in Ormskirk
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.

Typical scopes of work
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Ormskirk the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Ormskirk 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 Ormskirk 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 Lancashire?
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.
