Options for dock levellers in Chelsea
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- 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.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Jobs we can carry out
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Chelsea 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.
