What we fit in Bangor (Down)
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.
Planning the work around your site
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.
