The short version
Mixed fleet at your Bexleyheath (DA6) 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.

What to specify
- 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.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bexleyheath 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
