What we fit in Gosport
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- 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. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Gosport 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.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
