Options for complete loading bays in Irvine
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Irvine, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Irvine 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.

Your questions about complete loading bays
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Irvine without closing the site?
Yes. Bays can be refurbished one at a time so the others stay in use, and work can be done out of hours where needed. Each bay is commissioned before we move on to the next.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Ayrshire?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Ayrshire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
Can a loading bay be added to our Irvine 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.
