Options that matter on site
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
What this work can involve
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- 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 Brislington, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Brislington can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about dock levellers
Can our dock leveller in Brislington be interlocked with the door?
Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.
How much is a dock leveller in Brislington?
Our guide price is £6,495 to £10,995 ex VAT for a hydraulic swing-lip leveller into a prepared pit, and £8,495 to £13,995 for telescopic lip. Your fixed price in Brislington, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.
