What to specify
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
What this work can involve
- 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 Hanworth?
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Hanworth?
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 Hanworth site.
What safety systems should our Hanworth 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 Hanworth?
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.
