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

Options that matter on site
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Typical scopes of work
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- 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 Bicester?
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
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Bicester 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.
What safety systems should our Bicester loading bays have?
That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Oxfordshire?
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.
