Options that matter on site
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Faversham?
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 Faversham
Can our dock leveller in Faversham 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.
Can you replace the dock leveller at our Faversham warehouse using the existing pit?
Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.
How much is a dock leveller in Faversham?
Our guide price is £6,495 to £10,995 ex VAT for a hydraulic swing-lip leveller into a prepared pit, and £8,495 to £13,995 for telescopic lip. Your fixed price in Faversham, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.
