Options that matter on site
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Typical scopes of work
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- 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 Seaford 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
Sites in and around Seaford 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.

Questions from businesses in Seaford
What safety systems should our Seaford 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.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across East Sussex?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across East Sussex, 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 Seaford 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.
