Options for dock levellers in Buckinghamshire

Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.

Jobs we can carry out

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Buckinghamshire 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Buckinghamshire 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.
