What we fit in York
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
What this work can involve
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- 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 York?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in York can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
