Complete loading bays in Tamworth

In short

What we fit in Tamworth

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.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
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

Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Tamworth, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Questions from businesses in Tamworth

How long does it take to install a loading bay in Tamworth?

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 Tamworth 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.

How much does a complete loading bay cost in Tamworth?

Complete loading bays are priced on survey, typically £14,995 to £39,995 ex VAT per bay depending on the leveller, shelter, door and safety systems. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your Tamworth site.
