What we fit in Scarborough

Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in North Yorkshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
