In short
Mixed fleet at your Penicuik (EH26) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

What we fit in Penicuik
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Penicuik?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
