Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Hampton 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

Most installations in Hampton 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.
