Options that matter on site

Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.

What this work can involve

Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in New Milton 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Complete loading bays in New Milton: your questions

Can a loading bay be added to our New Milton 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.

What safety systems should our New Milton loading bays have?

That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.

How much does a complete loading bay cost in New Milton?

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 New Milton site.
