Options for dock levellers in Bellshill
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
What this work can involve
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Bellshill, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Lanarkshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
