Dock levellers in Surbiton

The short version

Replacing a worn or damaged dock leveller in Surbiton? We remove the old unit, check and repair the pit, then install and commission a new hydraulic leveller with toe guards, velocity fuse and controls.

Town: Surbiton

Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Surbiton, 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

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
