Options for dock levellers in County Antrim
- 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.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in County Antrim?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
How the work is organised
Most installations in County Antrim 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.

Questions from businesses in County Antrim
Can our dock leveller in County Antrim 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.
Can you replace the dock leveller at our County Antrim 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 much is a dock leveller in County Antrim?
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 County Antrim, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.
