What we fit in Falmouth
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- 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 Falmouth?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
