Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.

What this work can involve

Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Kidsgrove 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Staffordshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Kidsgrove

Can you refurbish our loading bays in Kidsgrove 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.

Can a loading bay be added to our Kidsgrove 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.

Do you work on new-build loading bays around Staffordshire?

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.
