Dock levellers in Walthamstow

In short

Dock levellers for distribution centres, warehouses and manufacturing sites in Walthamstow. We survey your dock height, vehicles and handling equipment, then size and fit a swing-lip or telescopic-lip leveller to suit.

Town: Walthamstow
Postcode district: E17
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.

What this work can involve

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Walthamstow 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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Walthamstow 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.

Your questions about dock levellers

Can our dock leveller in Walthamstow 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.

Do you service and repair dock levellers across Greater London?

Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Greater London, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Walthamstow 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.
