Options that matter on site
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dunfermline?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
