In short
Each dock leveller project in Aylesbury starts with a free survey of the dock, the pit, the vehicles that call and the loads you move, followed by a written fixed price before any work begins.

What to specify
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Jobs we can carry out
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Aylesbury?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Aylesbury
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Aylesbury?
Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.
How much is a dock leveller in Aylesbury?
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 Aylesbury, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.
Can our dock leveller in Aylesbury 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.
