Town: Streatham
Postcode district: SW16
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Streatham, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
