Options for dock levellers in Heywood

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.
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.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.

Jobs we can carry out

Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Heywood?

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

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.

Questions from businesses in Heywood

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Heywood warehouse using the existing pit?

Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.

Can our dock leveller in Heywood be interlocked with the door?

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.

Do you service and repair dock levellers across Greater Manchester?

Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Greater Manchester, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.
