Options for complete loading bays in Greenock
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
Jobs we can carry out
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Greenock?
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
Most installations in Greenock can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Complete loading bays in Greenock: your questions
Can a loading bay be added to our Greenock 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.
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Greenock?
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 Greenock site.
What safety systems should our Greenock loading bays have?
That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.
