Ageing bays at your Middlesbrough warehouse? Across North Yorkshire, loading bays can be refurbished one at a time, with doors, levellers and shelters replaced in turn so the site keeps trading throughout the work.

What we fit in Middlesbrough
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Typical scopes of work
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Middlesbrough, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Your questions about complete loading bays
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across North Yorkshire?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across North Yorkshire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Middlesbrough?
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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Middlesbrough 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.
