The short version
Mixed fleet at your Grangemouth (FK3) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

Options for dock levellers in Grangemouth
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Jobs we can carry out
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Grangemouth, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Grangemouth 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.
