Options for dock levellers in Stanford-le-Hope
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Typical scopes of work
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Stanford-le-Hope?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Stanford-le-Hope vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
