What to specify
- 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.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
What this work can involve
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Rhyl, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about dock levellers
Can you replace the dock leveller at our Rhyl 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.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Rhyl?
Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Rhyl?
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.
