Options for dock levellers in High Wycombe

Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.

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.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including High Wycombe, 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

Sites in and around High Wycombe 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.

Questions from businesses in High Wycombe

Can our dock leveller in High Wycombe 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.

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in High Wycombe?

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.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our High Wycombe 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.
