What to specify

Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
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.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.

Loading bay safety in England

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

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Eastleigh vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Eastleigh

Can a loading bay be added to our Eastleigh 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.

Do you work on new-build loading bays around Hampshire?

Yes. We supply pit, opening and embedded steel details to your design team and groundworks contractor early, then install and commission doors, levellers, shelters and accessories to the main contractor's programme.

How much does a complete loading bay cost in Eastleigh?

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 Eastleigh site.
