Quick answer
Ageing bays at your Leatherhead warehouse? Across Surrey, loading bays can be refurbished one at a time, with doors, levellers and shelters replaced in turn so the site keeps trading throughout the work.

Options that matter on site
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- 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.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Leatherhead 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 Surrey 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.
