Options for dock levellers in Richmond
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Richmond?
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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Richmond 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.

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 our dock leveller in Richmond 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.
