Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Kirkcaldy, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
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 Kirkcaldy
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Kirkcaldy?
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 Kirkcaldy site.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Fife?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Fife, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
Can a loading bay be added to our Kirkcaldy 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.
