The short version
New-build loading docks in Bromley need levellers planned early. We provide pit details for the groundworks contractor, then fit and commission the levellers and interlock them with the dock doors once those are in.

Options for dock levellers in Bromley
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- 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.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- 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 Bromley 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
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.
