What we fit in Middlesbrough
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Middlesbrough, 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
