Options for dock levellers in Kirkcaldy
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
What this work can involve
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
