How we work on sites in Northallerton
Your loading bay stays our responsibility from the survey to the handover. In Northallerton, the survey and written quote are free, and the quoted price is fixed for the agreed scope. Installation is carried out by specialist engineers working under our management, at times planned with you to protect your loading schedule. Out-of-hours work is available by arrangement. We finish by testing the equipment and handing over its documentation.
Servicing and repairs work slightly differently from installations. Visits to sites in Northallerton are chargeable, and the price is set out in writing before anyone comes out. To help us prepare, send photos of the equipment and the fault. The engineer carries out the agreed work, flags anything else that needs attention and quotes it before touching it. Afterwards, a written report records the condition of each item.
- Asbestos register and any other site hazard information
- Headroom above the opening and which track type will suit it
- Gaps around trailers where heated or chilled air escapes
- Temperature requirements for chilled, frozen or ambient goods
- Manual override and emergency operation on powered doors
- Wiring, isolators and motor performance under load
What do the rules in England mean for the work?
Lift tables and dock lifts in Northallerton 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 Northallerton, 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 Northallerton?
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.
What is the difference between servicing and a statutory inspection?
Servicing keeps equipment working: cleaning, adjusting, lubricating and replacing worn parts. A statutory inspection or thorough examination is a separate check by a competent person, often arranged through your engineering insurer. Dock levellers are commonly inspected under PUWER at 12-month intervals, and lift tables may need LOLER thorough examination, depending on the equipment and how it is used. Your insurer or competent person will confirm what applies.
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.
