Options that matter on site
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- 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.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dewsbury?
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
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
Can a loading bay be added to our Dewsbury 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.
What safety systems should our Dewsbury 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 maintain loading bay equipment across West Yorkshire?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across West Yorkshire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
