What we fit in Ely
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Ely?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Ely 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.
