The short version
Mixed fleet at your Maidenhead (SL6) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

What to specify
- 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.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
What this work can involve
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Maidenhead, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
