Options for complete loading bays in Coventry

Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.

Typical scopes of work

Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Coventry, 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

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.
