Quick answer
Mixed fleet at your Cricklewood (NW2) 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
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
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.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Cricklewood?
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
For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Dock levellers in Cricklewood: your questions
Can our dock leveller in Cricklewood 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.
Can you replace the dock leveller at our Cricklewood warehouse using the existing pit?
Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Cricklewood?
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.
