Options for complete loading bays in Telford
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- 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.
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.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Telford, 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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Telford 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 maintain loading bay equipment across Shropshire?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Shropshire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
Can a loading bay be added to our Telford unit without a pit?
Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.
