What we fit in Bridgend

Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.

Typical scopes of work

Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Bridgend, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
