How we work on sites in Sandbach
If you are planning loading bay equipment for a site in Sandbach, expect four stages. A free survey and fixed written quote come first. We then agree a programme with you, including any out-of-hours work. Specialist installation engineers carry out the installation under our management, with us as your single point of contact. Finally, the equipment is tested, your staff are shown how it works and everything is handed over with its documentation.
Tell us what has gone wrong at your Sandbach site and, if you can, send photos of the fault and any labels on the equipment. We then confirm the visit price in writing, and nobody attends until you have agreed it. On site, the engineer diagnoses and repairs what was agreed; anything extra is quoted first, never added without your say-so. A written report follows, covering findings, work carried out and recommendations.
- Access for deliveries, cranes or lifting equipment during installation
- Asbestos register and any other site hazard information
- Dock height and the mix of trailers you load
- Forklift and pallet truck loads crossing the leveller platform
- Control panels, push buttons and emergency stops
- Vehicle restraint engagement and its signal sequence
Which rules apply in England?
Lift tables and dock lifts in Sandbach may fall under LOLER, with thorough examination at least every 12 months, or every 6 months where people are lifted. It depends on the equipment and how it is used, and your insurer or competent person will confirm. Dock levellers are usually treated as work equipment under PUWER. We check what applies at survey.

Questions
What details do you need from us to quote for loading bay work?
To get started, send the site address in Sandbach, the number of bays or openings, approximate sizes, and photos of the dock from inside and outside. Tell us what vehicles you load, what goods you handle and any temperature requirements. Drawings help on new builds. We then arrange the free survey and confirm the details before the written quote is issued.
How long does installation take at a site in Sandbach?
It depends on the equipment, the number of bays, the condition of the dock and whether any building or electrical work is needed. We agree a programme with you after the survey, setting out which bays are out of use and when. Larger jobs are usually phased so that part of the dock stays open, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you take over our existing loading bay maintenance arrangement?
Yes. Send us a list of the equipment at your Sandbach site, with makes, models and approximate ages if known, plus recent service or inspection reports. We will propose a planned maintenance schedule and price it per item per visit. The first visit records the condition of everything, so you have a clear starting point for future servicing.
How much does loading bay work cost?
It depends on what you need. Our published guide prices run from £120 per dock bumper to £32,000 per loading house, and a complete bay with door, leveller, shelter and safety kit is typically £13,500 to £26,000 per bay, all excluding VAT. See the prices page for every item.
Send a few photos of the dock and a short description of the problem, and we will come back to you about your Sandbach site.
