What we fit in Bathgate
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bathgate 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
