What to specify

Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.

Jobs we can carry out

Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Coulsdon?

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Greater London?

Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Greater London, 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 Coulsdon 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.

Do you work on new-build loading bays around Greater London?

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.
