The short version
One team, one survey, one set of dimensions: our complete loading bay service in Rutherglen avoids the gaps that appear when doors, levellers and shelters come from different suppliers working to different drawings.

What to specify
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- 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.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Jobs we can carry out
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- 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 Rutherglen?
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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Rutherglen
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Rutherglen?
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 Rutherglen site.
Can a loading bay be added to our Rutherglen 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.
What safety systems should our Rutherglen 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.
