Quick answer
Mixed fleet at your Blyth (NE24) 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.

Options for dock levellers in Blyth
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Jobs we can carry out
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Blyth?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Blyth vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
