Options that matter on site

Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
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.
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

Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Seaham 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in County Durham 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.
