Options that matter on site
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Altrincham?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
