Dock levellers in Pontypridd

Quick answer

New-build loading docks in Pontypridd need levellers planned early. We provide pit details for the groundworks contractor, then fit and commission the levellers and interlock them with the dock doors once those are in.

What to specify

Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
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.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Pontypridd 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
