Options for dock levellers in Barnet

Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.

What this work can involve

Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Barnet, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

How the work is organised

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.
