What we fit in Leighton Buzzard
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Leighton Buzzard?
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.
How the work is organised
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.
