Options for dock levellers in Llanelli

Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
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.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.

What this work can involve

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.

Loading bay safety in Wales

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

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.

Questions from businesses in Llanelli

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Llanelli 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.

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Llanelli?

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.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Llanelli?

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.
