Options for dock levellers in Windsor
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Windsor, 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
