What to specify
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
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.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Birmingham?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in the West Midlands 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Birmingham 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 work on new-build loading bays around the West Midlands?
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.
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Birmingham?
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.
