Quick answer
Mixed fleet at your Harrogate (HG2) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

What to specify
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Harrogate 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.
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.
