Options for dock levellers in Croydon
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- 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 Croydon, 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 Croydon 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.
