Options for complete loading bays in Ketton
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Jobs we can carry out
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Ketton the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
Can a loading bay be added to our Ketton 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 Ketton?
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 Ketton site.
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Rutland?
Yes. We supply pit, opening and embedded steel details to your design team and groundworks contractor early, then install and commission doors, levellers, shelters and accessories to the main contractor's programme.
