Complete loading bays in York

At a glance

One team, one survey, one set of dimensions: our complete loading bay service in York avoids the gaps that appear when doors, levellers and shelters come from different suppliers working to different drawings.

Town: York
Postcode district: YO1
Area: North Yorkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.

What this work can involve

Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Complete loading bays in York: your questions

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across North Yorkshire?

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

Can a loading bay be added to our York 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.

Can you refurbish our loading bays in York 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.
