What we fit in St Andrews
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- 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 St Andrews?
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
Most installations in St Andrews can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions

Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in St Andrews?
Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.
