What we fit in Hoddesdon
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
What this work can involve
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Hoddesdon, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Questions from businesses in Hoddesdon
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 much does a complete loading bay cost in Hoddesdon?
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 Hoddesdon site.
Can a loading bay be added to our Hoddesdon 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.
