Dock levellers in Stonehaven

The short version

We can supply and install dock levellers in Stonehaven and throughout Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, from single replacement units on older warehouses to full runs of loading bays on new-build distribution sheds, with pit work and interlocks included where needed.

Town: Stonehaven
Postcode district: AB39
Area: Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.

Jobs we can carry out

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Stonehaven the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Stonehaven

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Stonehaven warehouse using the existing pit?

Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Stonehaven?

A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Stonehaven?

Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.
