Options for dock levellers in Winchester
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- 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.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.

- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Winchester?
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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
