Options that matter on site

Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.

Typical scopes of work

Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Leeds 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.

Planning the work around your site

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked 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.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Leeds 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.

What safety systems should our Leeds 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.
