Complete loading bays in Leytonstone

The short version

Each loading bay for a site in Leytonstone (E11) is designed around the vehicles you receive, the loads you handle and the temperature you need to hold, then priced in writing after a free survey.

Town: Leytonstone
Postcode district: E11
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.

Typical scopes of work

Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Leytonstone 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Greater London 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.
