Options for dock levellers in Woolwich
- 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.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Typical scopes of work
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- 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 Woolwich, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
