Options for complete loading bays in Cramlington
- 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.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Typical scopes of work
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Cramlington?
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.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Complete loading bays in Cramlington: your questions
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Cramlington?
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 Cramlington 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.
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Northumberland?
Yes. We supply pit, opening and embedded steel details to your design team and groundworks contractor early, then install and commission doors, levellers, shelters and accessories to the main contractor's programme.
