What to specify
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
What this work can involve
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Castleford?
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 West Yorkshire 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.

Questions from businesses in Castleford
What safety systems should our Castleford 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.
Do you work on new-build loading bays around West Yorkshire?
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 Castleford?
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.
