What we fit in Lichfield

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.

Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.

Typical scopes of work

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Lichfield, 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

Sites in and around Lichfield vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Lichfield

Can a loading bay be added to our Lichfield 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.

Do you work on new-build loading bays around Staffordshire?

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 Staffordshire?

Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Staffordshire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
