What to specify
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Jobs we can carry out
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Mid Glamorgan, 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.
