The short version
New-build loading docks in Fraserburgh need levellers planned early. We provide pit details for the groundworks contractor, then fit and commission the levellers and interlock them with the dock doors once those are in.

Options that matter on site
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Fraserburgh, 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Fraserburgh
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Fraserburgh?
Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.
Can our dock leveller in Fraserburgh be interlocked with the door?
Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.
How much is a dock leveller in Fraserburgh?
Our guide price is £6,495 to £10,995 ex VAT for a hydraulic swing-lip leveller into a prepared pit, and £8,495 to £13,995 for telescopic lip. Your fixed price in Fraserburgh, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.
