- Survey

Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.
How the work is organised
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.

Complete loading bays in Limavady: your questions
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.
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Limavady?
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 Limavady site.
Can a loading bay be added to our Limavady 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.
