In short
One team, one survey, one set of dimensions: our complete loading bay service in Harrogate avoids the gaps that appear when doors, levellers and shelters come from different suppliers working to different drawings.

What to specify
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
Jobs we can carry out
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Harrogate?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
