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

Options that matter on site
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Typical scopes of work
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- 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 Blyth, 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.
