What we fit in Hammersmith

Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Hammersmith 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
