What we fit in Billingham
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Billingham, 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
