What we fit in Dundee

Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.

Examples of work we can quote for

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
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.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Dundee, 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Dundee

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

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.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Dundee 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.

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Dundee?

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.
