Options for complete loading bays in Wood Green
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- 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 Wood Green 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
For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
Can a loading bay be added to our Wood Green 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 long does it take to install a loading bay in Wood Green?
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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Wood Green 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.
