Dock levellers in Colwyn Bay

Quick answer

Mixed fleet at your Colwyn Bay (LL29) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

Town: Colwyn Bay
Postcode district: LL29
Area: Clwyd
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.

Typical scopes of work

Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Colwyn Bay, 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 Colwyn Bay 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.
