What we fit in Heywood

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.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.

Jobs we can carry out

Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Complete loading bays in Heywood: your questions

Can a loading bay be added to our Heywood 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 Heywood?

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 Heywood site.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Heywood 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.
