A loading bay that doesn’t match your vehicles slows everything down and puts staff at risk. The right equipment bridges the gap between the building and the lorry, or lifts goods to the right height where there’s no raised dock.
We supply, install and maintain dock levellers, scissor lift tables and loading bay lifts for warehouses, distribution centres, factories and retail sites.
It starts with your vehicles. HGV trailers and small vans have very different bed heights, and a leveller set up for one may struggle with the other. We’ll look at the vehicles you use, how many deliveries you take and what you’re moving.
Telescopic-lip levellers suit sites with mixed vehicles. Scissor lifts often work better where vans make up most of the traffic.
Loading bay equipment is outside in all weathers, and gets run over by loaded pallet trucks dozens of times a day. Levellers and lifts are built for that, with insulated and sealed options for cold stores and temperature-controlled sites.
The most serious loading bay accidents happen when a vehicle moves off while it’s still being loaded. Vehicle restraints, traffic lights and interlocks between the dock door and leveller all help stop that. We’ll advise on the right combination for your site.
Scissor lifts that lift goods fall under LOLER, and all loading bay equipment needs maintaining under PUWER.
Discuss your requirements and explore the most suitable lift options for your property.
We provide clear advice, tailored solutions, and a straightforward installation process from start to finish.
