- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Kendal?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Kendal vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about complete loading bays
Can a loading bay be added to our Kendal 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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Kendal 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.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Cumbria?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Cumbria, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
