Options for complete loading bays in Montrose

One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
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.
Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.

What this work can involve

Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
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 Montrose?

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

For busy sites in Angus and Dundee 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.

Your questions about complete loading bays

Can a loading bay be added to our Montrose unit without a pit?

Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Angus and Dundee?

Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Angus and Dundee, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.

Do you work on new-build loading bays around Angus and Dundee?

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.
