What to specify

Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.

Jobs we can carry out

Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Sutton?

The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Sutton

Can a loading bay be added to our Sutton 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.

What safety systems should our Sutton 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.

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.
