What we fit in Purley
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
What this work can involve
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- 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 Purley 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
Most installations in Purley can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Purley
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Purley?
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 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 you refurbish our loading bays in Purley 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.
