Options for dock levellers in Wishaw

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. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.

Typical scopes of work

Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
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.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Wishaw, 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

Most installations in Wishaw can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions

Can our dock leveller in Wishaw 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.

Do you service and repair dock levellers across Lanarkshire?

Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Lanarkshire, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Wishaw 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.
