Options that matter on site
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- 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.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Mitcham 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.
How the work is organised
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.
