Options that matter on site

Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.

Typical scopes of work

Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Maryhill the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
