What to specify

Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Lincolnshire 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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Lincolnshire 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.

Dock levellers in Lincolnshire: your questions

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Lincolnshire 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.

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Lincolnshire?

Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Lincolnshire?

Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.
