What to specify
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.
Planning the work around your site
