Complete loading bays in Inverness

In short

Ageing bays at your Inverness warehouse? Across the Highlands and Islands, loading bays can be refurbished one at a time, with doors, levellers and shelters replaced in turn so the site keeps trading throughout the work.

Postcode district: IV2
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

What we fit in Inverness

Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.

Jobs we can carry out

Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
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 Inverness, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Inverness

What safety systems should our Inverness 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.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Inverness without closing the site?

Yes. Bays can be refurbished one at a time so the others stay in use, and work can be done out of hours where needed. Each bay is commissioned before we move on to the next.

How long does it take to install a loading bay in Inverness?

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.
