What to specify
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
What this work can involve
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- 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 Cookstown?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Cookstown 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.

Your questions about complete loading bays
Do you work on new-build loading bays around County Tyrone?
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.
Can a loading bay be added to our Cookstown 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.
What safety systems should our Cookstown 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.
