What to specify
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- 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.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Billericay?
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.
How the work is organised
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.
