In short
Mixed fleet at your Droylsden (M43) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

What we fit in Droylsden
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Jobs we can carry out
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Droylsden?
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.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
