What to specify
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Hounslow?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
