Options for complete loading bays in Scunthorpe
- 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.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
What this work can involve
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Scunthorpe 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can a loading bay be added to our Scunthorpe 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 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.
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Scunthorpe?
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 Scunthorpe site.
