Options for complete loading bays in Northolt

Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.

Examples of work we can quote for

Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Northolt 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

What safety systems should our Northolt 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.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Northolt 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.

Can a loading bay be added to our Northolt 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.
