What we fit in Kilwinning

Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.

Typical scopes of work

Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Kilwinning, 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 Kilwinning 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.

Complete loading bays in Kilwinning: your questions

How much does a complete loading bay cost in Kilwinning?

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 Kilwinning site.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Kilwinning 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.

What safety systems should our Kilwinning 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.
