Options for complete loading bays in East Grinstead
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in East Grinstead?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across West Sussex?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across West Sussex, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
Can a loading bay be added to our East Grinstead 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.
What safety systems should our East Grinstead 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.
