What we fit in Isleworth

Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

Jobs we can carry out

Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
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.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Isleworth?

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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about dock levellers

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Isleworth?

Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Isleworth?

Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Isleworth?

A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
