Options that matter on site

Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Wisbech, 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

For busy sites in Cambridgeshire 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.

Questions from businesses in Wisbech

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

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.

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

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.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Wisbech 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.
