Options for complete loading bays in Boston

Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
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.

What this work can involve

Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
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.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Boston?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Boston vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Boston

How long does it take to install a loading bay in Boston?

A single bay with a prepared pit typically takes two to three days, including commissioning the interlocks and lights. New-build projects follow the main programme, and multi-bay refurbishments are phased to suit your operations.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Boston 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.

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Lincolnshire?

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