Options for complete loading bays in Dalkeith

Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.

Jobs we can carry out

Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
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.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Dalkeith 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 Edinburgh and the Lothians 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 Dalkeith

Do you work on new-build loading bays around Edinburgh and the Lothians?

Yes. We supply pit, opening and embedded steel details to your design team and groundworks contractor early, then install and commission doors, levellers, shelters and accessories to the main contractor's programme.

What safety systems should our Dalkeith 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.

How long does it take to install a loading bay in Dalkeith?

A single bay with a prepared pit typically takes two to three days, including commissioning the interlocks and lights. New-build projects follow the main programme, and multi-bay refurbishments are phased to suit your operations.
