Options that matter on site
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- 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 Wolverhampton, 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about complete loading bays
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 Wolverhampton 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.
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Wolverhampton?
Complete loading bays are priced on survey, typically £14,995 to £39,995 ex VAT per bay depending on the leveller, shelter, door and safety systems. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your Wolverhampton site.
