What to specify
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Wallasey, 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
Most installations in Wallasey can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
