Options that matter on site
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- 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.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Royton?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Royton can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
