What we fit in Ross-on-Wye
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
