Typical scopes of work
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Sandhurst 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Sandhurst vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about complete loading bays
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Sandhurst?
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.
Can a loading bay be added to our Sandhurst 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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Sandhurst 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.
