What we fit in Halifax

Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.

Typical scopes of work

Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Halifax the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Halifax can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Complete loading bays in Halifax: your questions

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 Halifax?

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.

Can a loading bay be added to our Halifax 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.
