Dock levellers in Kilburn

In short

Mixed fleet at your Kilburn (NW6) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

Town: Kilburn
Postcode district: NW6
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
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.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
