Options that matter on site
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Typical scopes of work
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Carshalton?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Carshalton
Can our dock leveller in Carshalton be interlocked with the door?
Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Carshalton?
Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.
Do you service and repair dock levellers across Greater London?
Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Greater London, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.
