What we fit in Greenwich
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Greenwich 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.

Your questions about dock levellers
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Greenwich?
Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.
Can our dock leveller in Greenwich 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.
