Complete loading bays in Windsor

Quick answer

Ageing bays at your Windsor warehouse? Across Berkshire, loading bays can be refurbished one at a time, with doors, levellers and shelters replaced in turn so the site keeps trading throughout the work.

Town: Windsor
Postcode district: SL4
Area: Berkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Windsor, 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Windsor

What safety systems should our Windsor 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.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Windsor 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 Windsor 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.
