Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Coalville 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
Most installations in Coalville 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.

Your questions about complete loading bays
Can a loading bay be added to our Coalville 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 Leicestershire?
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.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Leicestershire?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Leicestershire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
