Options that matter on site
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- 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.
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.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Cumbernauld?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Cumbernauld 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.
