Options that matter on site
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
