What we fit in Amersham

Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Amersham?

The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Buckinghamshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about dock levellers

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Amersham warehouse using the existing pit?

Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Amersham?

Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Amersham?

A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
