Loading Bays

All loading bays we install have been designed to ‘bridge the gap’ between the loading bay and the vehicle, ensuring loading and unloading is safe. Using a leveller, goods can be moved in and out of the vehicle with one straight movement whether you are using cages, forklifts or pallet trucks.

Our levellers have been designed and tested in accordance to BS EN1398/2009, meaning they fully comply with all European legislation.

Our levellers are custom manufactured in the UK to suit each loading bay application, and each model can be manufactured with a 6000kg or 10000kg capacity. We offer a hard wearing enamel coating as standard in any RAL colour and we also offer a zinc spray finish which is suitable in destructive humid atmospheres and coastal areas.

Key Features of Loading Bays

Hinge Lip Dock Leveller
The hinge lip dock leveller is designed so the platform, when activated, will rise to its’ highest position before the hinge lip swings out automatically. Once fully extended, the platform and the lip will gently lower until it comes to rest on the vehicle bed where it will remain in float mode. The dock leveller will move up and down with the suspension of the vehicle during loading and unloading.

Our hinge lip dock levellers have been designed and tested in accordance with the European standard BS EN1398:2009.

Hinge lip dock levellers are available in three different frame arrangements;

Pit mounted; Ideal for existing precast pits
Suspended; Suitable for pits which require a tail lift recess, these levellers come with integrated kerb angles
Cast in; Suitable for forming a new pit without the use of expensive shuttering
Telescopic Lip Dock Leveller
The telescopic lip leveller is designed to achieve absolute accuracy when extending or retracting the lip plate. This means that the vehicles may be loaded or unloaded to or from the very end of the vehicle bed, giving optimal load utilisation. The electro-hydraulic telescopic leveller comes with a standard lip length of 500mm with an option to increase this to 750mm and 1000mm.

Our telescopic lip dock levellers have been designed and tested in accordance with the European standard BS EN1398:2009.

Telescopic lip dock levellers are available in three different frame arrangements;

Pit mounted; Ideal for existing precast pits suspended; Suitable for pits which require a tail lift recess, these levellers come with integrated kerb angles cast in; Suitable for forming a new pit without the use of expensive shuttering.
Edge of Dock Leveller
The edge of dock leveller is designed to provide a safe bridge for personnel and goods when loading and unloading a vehicle. Minimal effort is required to manually lift the lip plate and once lifted the plate will pivot and can be safely lowered on the vehicle bed and warehouse floor.

Edge of dock levellers are suitable where no pit is present and comes delivered fully assembled ready to be bolted or welded back to the dock face. Dock bumpers are included to aid vehicle parking and prevent damage.
Dock Shelters
Dock shelters and seals provide protection from the outside elements on the loading bay by helping to create an effective seal between the vehicle and building, maintaining comfortable working conditions and protecting the goods being loaded or unloaded. They are also a proven barrier against insects and airborne pollutants.

Warehouses and logistic companies can now choose from a wide range of different shelters and seals based on vehicles using the bay, the type of goods being loaded/unloaded and the layout of the loading bay. Particular consideration is given to cold store environments where temperature control is essential.
