Options that matter on site
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Jobs we can carry out
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Gloucestershire 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.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
