Options that matter on site

Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.

Typical scopes of work

Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
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 Hinckley, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Hinckley 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.

Dock levellers in Hinckley: your questions

How much is a dock leveller in Hinckley?

Our guide price is £6,495 to £10,995 ex VAT for a hydraulic swing-lip leveller into a prepared pit, and £8,495 to £13,995 for telescopic lip. Your fixed price in Hinckley, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.

Can our dock leveller in Hinckley 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.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Hinckley 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.
