Options for dock levellers in Heanor
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
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.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Heanor?
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 Derbyshire 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.

Your questions about dock levellers
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Heanor?
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.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Heanor?
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.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Heanor?
A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
