Options for dock levellers in Stamford Hill

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.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.

What this work can involve

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Stamford Hill 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
