Dock levellers in Caernarfon

The short version

Mixed fleet at your Caernarfon (LL55) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

Town: Caernarfon
Postcode district: LL55
Area: Gwynedd
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

Typical scopes of work

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
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 Caernarfon?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Caernarfon 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.

Your questions about dock levellers

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

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.

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Caernarfon?

Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Caernarfon 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.
