Options that matter on site
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Typical scopes of work
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Maghull 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.
