What we fit in Grimsby
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- 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.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.

Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Grimsby 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.
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 Grimsby
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Grimsby 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 Grimsby?
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.
What safety systems should our Grimsby 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.
