In short
Mixed fleet at your Leytonstone (E11) 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.

What we fit in Leytonstone
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Leytonstone, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Leytonstone vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Leytonstone
Can our dock leveller in Leytonstone be interlocked with the door?
Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.
Do you service and repair dock levellers across Greater London?
Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Greater London, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Leytonstone?
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.
