Options for dock levellers in Staveley

Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.

What this work can involve

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Staveley the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Your questions about dock levellers

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Staveley 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.

Can our dock leveller in Staveley be interlocked with the door?

Do you service and repair dock levellers across Derbyshire?

Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Derbyshire, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.
