Complete loading bays in Colwyn Bay

In short

Planning new loading docks near Colwyn Bay? We provide pit and opening details for your groundworks contractor early in the build, then supply, install and commission every item of loading bay equipment together.

Town: Colwyn Bay
Postcode district: LL29
Area: Clwyd
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.

What this work can involve

Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Colwyn Bay 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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Colwyn Bay

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Clwyd?

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

How much does a complete loading bay cost in Colwyn Bay?

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 Colwyn Bay site.

Can a loading bay be added to our Colwyn Bay 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.
