Town: Highbury
Postcode district: N5
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.

What this work can involve

Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Highbury warehouse using the existing pit?

Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.

Do you service and repair dock levellers across Greater London?

Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Greater London, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.

Can our dock leveller in Highbury 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.
