Options for dock levellers in Fleet

Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.

What this work can involve

Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Fleet the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Hampshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
