In short
One team, one survey, one set of dimensions: our complete loading bay service in Worcester avoids the gaps that appear when doors, levellers and shelters come from different suppliers working to different drawings.

Options that matter on site
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- 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. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Worcester, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Worcestershire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Worcester
What safety systems should our Worcester 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 Worcestershire?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Worcestershire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
