Dock levellers in the East Riding of Yorkshire

In short

Each dock leveller project in the East Riding of Yorkshire starts with a free survey of the dock, the pit, the vehicles that call and the loads you move, followed by a written fixed price before any work begins.

Area: East Riding of Yorkshire
Nation: England
Main town: Hull
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.

What this work can involve

Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in the East Riding of Yorkshire 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Yorkshire and the Humber 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.

Your questions about dock levellers

Can our dock leveller in the East Riding of Yorkshire be interlocked with the door?

Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in the East Riding of Yorkshire?

Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.

Do you service and repair dock levellers across Yorkshire and the Humber?

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