What we fit in Borehamwood
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
Typical scopes of work
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Borehamwood?
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
Sites in and around Borehamwood 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.

Complete loading bays in Borehamwood: your questions
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Hertfordshire?
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 long does it take to install a loading bay in Borehamwood?
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.
Can a loading bay be added to our Borehamwood 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.
