Options for dock levellers in Barnes

Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
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.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Barnes 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

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
