Options that matter on site
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Woodford Green?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about complete loading bays
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Woodford Green?
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 Woodford Green site.
Can a loading bay be added to our Woodford 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 Woodford 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.
