What we fit in Barking
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.

- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Barking 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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
