Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Cramlington, 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.
