Options that matter on site

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.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.

Examples of work we can quote for

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
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 Grimsby, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Grimsby 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.

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Grimsby?

A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.

Can our dock leveller in Grimsby 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.
