Options that matter on site
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Uxbridge 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Uxbridge
Can a loading bay be added to our Uxbridge 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.
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Uxbridge?
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 Uxbridge site.
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.
