Dock levellers in Tewkesbury

At a glance

Mixed fleet at your Tewkesbury (GL20) 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.

Town: Tewkesbury
Postcode district: GL20
Area: Gloucestershire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.

What this work can involve

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Tewkesbury 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Tewkesbury vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Tewkesbury warehouse using the existing pit?

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.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Tewkesbury?

Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.

Can our dock leveller in Tewkesbury be interlocked with the door?

Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.
