What to specify

Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in 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.
Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.

Jobs we can carry out

Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Gorseinon the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in West Glamorgan the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about complete loading bays

What safety systems should our Gorseinon 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.

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

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.

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across West Glamorgan?

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