Options for dock levellers in Newport (Gwent)
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Newport (Gwent), 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Newport (Gwent) vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
