Options that matter on site
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Ballymoney?
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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in County Antrim 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace the dock leveller at our Ballymoney 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.
Can our dock leveller in Ballymoney 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.
