What we fit in Skegness
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- 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.
- Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Jobs we can carry out
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Skegness, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Skegness 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Skegness 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.
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Skegness?
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 a loading bay be added to our Skegness 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.
