Quick answer
New-build loading docks in Skegness need levellers planned early. We provide pit details for the groundworks contractor, then fit and commission the levellers and interlock them with the dock doors once those are in.

What to specify
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Typical scopes of work
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Skegness?
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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Lincolnshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Skegness?
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.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Skegness?
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.
Can our dock leveller in Skegness 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.
