What to specify
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Pimlico?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Pimlico 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 Pimlico
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Pimlico?
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.
Can you replace the dock leveller at our Pimlico 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.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Pimlico?
Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.
