What we fit in Great Yarmouth
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- 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 Great Yarmouth, 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
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.
