What we fit in Chingford
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
What this work can involve
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Chingford, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Chingford can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
