Options for dock levellers in Woodford Green
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- 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 Woodford Green 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.

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.
