Loading Bay Scaffolding in London
At Jaku Scaffolding, we provide safe, fully compliant, and engineer-designed loading bay scaffolds across London and the surrounding counties. A loading bay is essential on construction projects where heavy or bulky materials need to be safely delivered, stored, and distributed without overloading the general scaffold structure.
What is a Scaffold Loading Bay?
A scaffold loading bay is a reinforced platform designed for the safe landing and storage of materials such as pallets of bricks, mortar tubs, steel, timber, or cladding panels. These platforms are purpose-built to handle heavier loads than standard scaffolding and are fitted with gates, guardrails, and toeboards to protect operatives at all times.
Why Are Loading Bays Important?
- ✅ Safe handling of materials – prevents overloading of working lifts.
- ✅ Efficiency on site – allows cranes, hoists, or forklifts to deliver materials directly to the platform.
- ✅ Compliance – built in line with Working at Height Regulations (WAHR), TG20:21, and BS EN standards.
- ✅ Custom design – every loading bay is constructed with a specific engineer’s drawing to match site conditions and load requirements.
Our Loading Bay Solutions
We design, supply, and erect loading bay scaffolds tailored to your project:
- Ground-based loading platforms – simple, stable platforms built from the ground up.
- Cantilever loading bays – fixed to existing scaffolds or structures where ground space is limited.
- Crane & forklift access bays – reinforced platforms suitable for direct mechanical loading.
- Special design bays – engineered solutions for unusual sites, restricted areas, or heavy-duty loads.
All loading bays include:
- Clear Safe Working Load (SWL) signage at eye level.
- Double guardrails, toeboards, and brick guards for full edge protection.
- Secure loading gates that prevent falls whether open or closed.
Safety & Inspections
Every loading bay erected by Jaku Scaffolding is:
- Designed with engineer’s calculations and drawings.
- Handed over with the Safe Working Load (SWL) clearly marked.
- Inspected on completion, then re-inspected weekly as required by the Work at Height Regulations.
- Checked daily on busy construction sites for extra safety assurance.
