Postcode district: L3
Area: Merseyside
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
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.

What this work can involve

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Liverpool?

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 Merseyside 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.

Questions from businesses in Liverpool

Can our dock leveller in Liverpool 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 Liverpool 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.

Do you service and repair dock levellers across Merseyside?

Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Merseyside, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.
