Dock levellers in Notting Hill

In short

New-build loading docks in Notting Hill need levellers planned early. We provide pit details for the groundworks contractor, then fit and commission the levellers and interlock them with the dock doors once those are in.

Options that matter on site

Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Notting Hill?

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
