What we fit in Slough

Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Slough 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.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Berkshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Complete loading bays in Slough: your questions

How much does a complete loading bay cost in Slough?

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 Slough site.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Slough 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.

Can a loading bay be added to our Slough 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.
