What to specify

Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.

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

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

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.

Questions from businesses in Gwent

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Gwent 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.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Gwent?

Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.

Can our dock leveller in Gwent 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.
