What to specify
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Jobs we can carry out
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- 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 Lytham St Annes?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Lytham St Annes 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.
