Options for dock levellers in Dunstable

Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Dunstable the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Dunstable vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
