Complete loading bays in South Croydon

Quick answer

Ageing bays at your South Croydon warehouse? Across Greater London, loading bays can be refurbished one at a time, with doors, levellers and shelters replaced in turn so the site keeps trading throughout the work.

Town: South Croydon
Postcode district: CR2
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.

Jobs we can carry out

Loading bay safety in England

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

Complete loading bays in South Croydon: your questions

How much does a complete loading bay cost in South Croydon?

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 South Croydon site.

Can a loading bay be added to our South Croydon 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.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in South Croydon 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.
