Dock levellers in Leominster

The short version

Dock levellers for distribution centres, warehouses and manufacturing sites in Leominster. We survey your dock height, vehicles and handling equipment, then size and fit a swing-lip or telescopic-lip leveller to suit.

Town: Leominster
Postcode district: HR6
Area: Herefordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Leominster, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Herefordshire 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.
