Options that matter on site
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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 England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Maidenhead the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Complete loading bays in Maidenhead: your questions
What safety systems should our Maidenhead 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.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Berkshire?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Berkshire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Maidenhead?
A single bay with a prepared pit typically takes two to three days, including commissioning the interlocks and lights. New-build projects follow the main programme, and multi-bay refurbishments are phased to suit your operations.
