What we fit in Macclesfield
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- 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.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
What this work can involve
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- 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 Macclesfield 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.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Complete loading bays in Macclesfield: your questions
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Macclesfield?
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 Macclesfield site.
Can a loading bay be added to our Macclesfield 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 Cheshire?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Cheshire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
