What we fit in Lytham St Annes
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Typical scopes of work
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Lytham St Annes 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.
Planning the work around your site
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about complete loading bays
What safety systems should our Lytham St Annes 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 a loading bay be added to our Lytham St Annes 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 Lytham St Annes?
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 Lytham St Annes site.
