Options for complete loading bays in Sutton Coldfield
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
What this work can involve
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Sutton Coldfield?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about complete loading bays
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Sutton Coldfield 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.
Can a loading bay be added to our Sutton Coldfield 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.
