What we fit in Kilmarnock
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Jobs we can carry out
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- 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 Kilmarnock?
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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Ayrshire 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.
