What we fit in Norwich
- 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.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
What this work can involve
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- 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 Norwich?
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
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.
