What to specify
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
What this work can involve
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- 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 Angus and Dundee 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
Most installations in Angus and Dundee can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
