Town: Ledbury
Postcode district: HR8
Area: Herefordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
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.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.

Typical scopes of work

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.
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 Ledbury?

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.

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.

Questions from businesses in Ledbury

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Ledbury?

A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.

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

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.

Can our dock leveller in Ledbury 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.
