Options that matter on site

Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

Jobs we can carry out

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Portadown?

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

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.

Questions from businesses in Portadown

Can our dock leveller in Portadown 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.

Do you service and repair dock levellers across County Armagh?

Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across County Armagh, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Portadown 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.
