Dock levellers in Connah's Quay

The short version

Each dock leveller project in Connah's Quay starts with a free survey of the dock, the pit, the vehicles that call and the loads you move, followed by a written fixed price before any work begins.

Town: Connah's Quay
Postcode district: CH5
Area: Clwyd
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.

Examples of work we can quote for

Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Connah's Quay?

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

For busy sites in Clwyd 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.
