Options that matter on site

Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.

What this work can involve

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Newport (Isle of Wight) 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
