What we fit in Greater London

Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Greater London?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Greater London 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.

Dock levellers in Greater London: your questions

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Greater London 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.

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Greater London?

A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Greater London?

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.
