In short
Mixed fleet at your Lurgan (BT66) 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.

What to specify
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- 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.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Typical scopes of work
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- 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 Lurgan?
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 Armagh 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.
