Options for complete loading bays in Wiltshire
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
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.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Wiltshire?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on new-build loading bays around the South West?
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.
What safety systems should our Wiltshire 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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Wiltshire 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.
