Options for complete loading bays in Lurgan
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Typical scopes of work
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Lurgan 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can a loading bay be added to our Lurgan 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.
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Lurgan?
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 Lurgan site.
What safety systems should our Lurgan 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.
