Options that matter on site

Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.

What this work can involve

Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

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

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Wick can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about complete loading bays

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Wick 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.

Can a loading bay be added to our Wick 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.

How much does a complete loading bay cost in Wick?

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 Wick site.
