The short version
Mixed fleet at your Magherafelt (BT45) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

What to specify
- 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.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
What this work can involve
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.
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.
