Quick answer
Mixed fleet at your Dunoon (PA23) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

Options that matter on site
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dunoon?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Argyll and Bute 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.

Dock levellers in Dunoon: your questions
How much is a dock leveller in Dunoon?
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 Dunoon, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Dunoon?
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.
Can our dock leveller in Dunoon 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.
