What to specify
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Jobs we can carry out
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- 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 Highbury, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Highbury 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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Highbury?
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.
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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Highbury 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.
