What we fit in Kilwinning
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- 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.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
What this work can involve
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- 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 Kilwinning?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
