Options that matter on site
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Lanarkshire 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
