What we fit in Congleton
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Congleton?
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.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
