Options that matter on site
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Typical scopes of work
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Chepstow, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Chepstow 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.

Questions from businesses in Chepstow
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Chepstow?
A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Chepstow?
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 you replace the dock leveller at our Chepstow 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.
