Postcode district: SE15
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.

What this work can involve

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.
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 Peckham 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Peckham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Peckham

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Peckham?

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 Peckham?

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 Peckham 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.
