What we fit in Derry
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Derry?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about complete loading bays
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Derry 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 Derry?
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.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across County Londonderry?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across County Londonderry, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
