What we fit in Aberdare

Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
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.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

What this work can involve

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
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.

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

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

Sites in and around Aberdare vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Aberdare

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Aberdare?

Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Aberdare?

A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.

Can our dock leveller in Aberdare 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.
