Dock levellers in Waterlooville

In short

Each dock leveller project in Waterlooville starts with a free survey of the dock, the pit, the vehicles that call and the loads you move, followed by a written fixed price before any work begins.

Town: Waterlooville
Postcode district: PO7
Area: Hampshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.

Examples of work we can quote for

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Waterlooville 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

Sites in and around Waterlooville 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.

Your questions about dock levellers

Do you service and repair dock levellers across Hampshire?

Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Hampshire, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.

Can our dock leveller in Waterlooville be interlocked with the door?

Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Waterlooville 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.
