What we fit in Kingston upon Thames

Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.

Jobs we can carry out

Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Kingston upon Thames?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about dock levellers

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Kingston upon Thames?

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 Kingston upon Thames?

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.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Kingston upon Thames 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.
