What we fit in Leyland

One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.

Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Leyland 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

For busy sites in Lancashire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Leyland

Can a loading bay be added to our Leyland 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.

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Lancashire?

Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Lancashire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.

How much does a complete loading bay cost in Leyland?

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 Leyland site.
