Ageing bays at your Worcestershire warehouse? Across the West Midlands, loading bays can be refurbished one at a time, with doors, levellers and shelters replaced in turn so the site keeps trading throughout the work.

Options for complete loading bays in Worcestershire
- 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.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- 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 Worcestershire?
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
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.
