Loading Bay Doors

Loading Bay Doors can have a significant impact on the speed and efficiency of your entire loading bay system.

Automatic doors can enhance efficiency, reduce downtime and ensure smooth operation of your loading bay system. We work directly with you to determine the best option for your unique needs. Whilst sectional insulated doors are the standard choice for loading bays, roller shutters can also be fitted where necessary.

Factors such as the size of goods you’re handling, frequency of loading and unloading and any other processes or equipment involved, will all have an impact on the optimum door choice for your business.

Dock Leveller

Dock Levellers

Dock levellers ensure a smooth transition between the loading bay dock and the vehicle transporting goods to and from your premises.

It’s absolutely crucial to ensure a stable and level platform between your dock and the vehicle to prevent accidents and serious injuries. We offer two types of levellers: Swing Lip and Telescopic Lip.

While both types are very similar, the telescopic lip can accommodate greater variations between vehicles and loading bays. Both dock levellers are electro-hydraulically operated to ensure a high-level of health and safety and can be serviced regularly by us to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Dock shelters

Dock shelters provide a secure seal between the opening of the loading bay and the vehicle being unloaded and protect your premises and goods from severe weather conditions and prevent unauthorised access. We offer three types of dock shelters:

  • Collapsible: Collapsible dock shelters very versatile and allow vehicles of various sizes, makes and models to load and unload goods. Fabric sheets are fitted to a hinged frame and simply collapse if a large or poorly aligned vehicle tries to enter the loading bay.
  • Dock Pads: Dock pads work best in situations where only one type of vehicle is expected. Fabric covered foam pads are fitted around the loading bay aperture and compress when a vehicle reverses into them, ensuring a great seal. Our dock pads are durable, specially coated and offer exceptional colour fastness.
  • Inflatable: Inflatable dock shelters offer excellent temperature control and versatility of vehicle compatibility. Making them extremely popular within the food industry, where robust temperature control is essential. Once the vehicle is in position, the dock shelters can be inflated to create a tight seal.

Wheel Guides

Wheel Guides

Wheel guides ensure that vehicles can easily get into the correct position to load and unload goods while helping to prevent damage to dock equipment.

Constructed from 168mm tubular steel and designed to withstand contact with HGV running gear, our wheel guides are reliable, durable and robust. Our wheel guides are positioned on a site-specific basis to ensure that vehicles approach your loading bay at the correct angle, every time. Installation is economical and wheel guides offer a great cost-benefit value as they will inevitably prevent damage to other loading bay equipment and prevent downtime as a result.

Traffic Lights

Traffic lights are an essential part of loading bay safety and can vastly improve logistics and efficiency.

HGV traffic can be difficult to control, especially if you’re operating within a busy industrial site. Red and green traffic lights can vastly improve the efficiency and flow of traffic whilst also improving the safety of your premises. Our loading bay traffic lights offer a range of benefits:

  • Low-energy usage and long-life LED traffic lights
  • Improved safety thanks to enhanced communication and traffic management
  • Operated either manually or automatically depending on site requirements

Dock Lights

Dock Lights

Dock lights maximise the visibility of your loading bay system and as a result, vastly reduce risk of damage and injuries.

Dock lights are an essential safety feature for any loading bay. Our dock lights offer the following advantages:

  • Low-voltage
  • Designed to make the access and egress of docked vehicles safer and easier
  • Operated both automatically from a loading bay control panel or manually from panel mounted switches
