Dock levellers in Hull

In short

Replacing a worn or damaged dock leveller in Hull? We remove the old unit, check and repair the pit, then install and commission a new hydraulic leveller with toe guards, velocity fuse and controls.

Town: Hull
Postcode district: HU1
Area: East Riding of Yorkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.

What this work can involve

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Hull, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in the East Riding of Yorkshire 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.
