Complete loading bays in Cambridgeshire

In short

Ageing bays at your Cambridgeshire warehouse? Across the East of England, 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.

Area: Cambridgeshire
Nation: England
Main town: Cambridge
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.

Jobs we can carry out

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

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Cambridgeshire 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

For busy sites in the East of England 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.

Questions from businesses in Cambridgeshire

Can a loading bay be added to our Cambridgeshire 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.

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across the East of England?

Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across the East of England, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Cambridgeshire 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.
