What to specify
- 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.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
What this work can involve
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Islington, 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
