Options for dock levellers in Maesteg

Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.

What this work can involve

Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Maesteg, 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.

How the work is organised

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
