What we fit in Faversham
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- 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.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Typical scopes of work
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Faversham, 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Your questions about complete loading bays
Can a loading bay be added to our Faversham 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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Faversham 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.
What safety systems should our Faversham 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.
