What we fit in Berkshire
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Berkshire 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Berkshire 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.
