What to specify
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Welling, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
