Options that matter on site
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- 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.
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Typical scopes of work
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- 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 Esher 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.
Planning the work around your site
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 Esher 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 Esher?
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 Esher site.
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Surrey?
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.
