Options for dock levellers in Harrow
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Harrow, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Harrow vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
