In short
New-build loading docks in Greenford need levellers planned early. We provide pit details for the groundworks contractor, then fit and commission the levellers and interlock them with the dock doors once those are in.

Options that matter on site
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Greenford 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
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.
