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

Options that matter on site
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
What this work can involve
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Lisburn can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Lisburn
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Lisburn?
Complete loading bays are priced on survey, typically £14,995 to £39,995 ex VAT per bay depending on the leveller, shelter, door and safety systems. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your Lisburn site.
What safety systems should our Lisburn 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 a loading bay be added to our Lisburn 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.
