Options for complete loading bays in Melton Mowbray
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- 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.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Melton Mowbray?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Melton Mowbray
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Melton Mowbray?
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.
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.
What safety systems should our Melton Mowbray 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.
