Ageing bays at your Shropshire warehouse? Across the West Midlands, 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.

Options for complete loading bays in Shropshire
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- 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.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
What this work can involve
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- 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 Shropshire?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Shropshire can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Shropshire
Do you work on new-build loading bays around the West Midlands?
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.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across the West Midlands?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across the West Midlands, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
What safety systems should our Shropshire 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.
