If it is not a "wharf", at a harbor facility...

Then "dock" in this sense would do.

1.4 A platform for loading lorries or goods trains.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi, Thanks for suggestion, but tend to think it must be outside in case of fire, unless you want to roast the personnel.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Tony M: Yes, certainly in the US, they use a 'dock' for un/loading lorries, whereas in GB we'd possibly more likely call it a 'loading bay'.

  -> Thank you very much, Tony. :-) Yes, if this is for GB, "loading bay" may be a better option.

  -> Thank you very much, Phil. :-)
agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: @Asker. Delivery docks, loading bays etc. are outside. There is always an illustration and bear in mind that the assembly point will be makred as such. "A la darse" could actually mean "next to the loading bay".
