What to specify
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Typical scopes of work
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Redruth, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Redruth 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.
