Options that matter on site
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Leyland 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
Most installations in Leyland 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.
