What we fit in Basingstoke
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
Typical scopes of work
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Basingstoke, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Basingstoke?
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.
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Basingstoke?
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 Basingstoke site.
Can a loading bay be added to our Basingstoke 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.
