What to specify
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- 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 Deal 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Deal vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
