Options for dock levellers in Arnold

What this work can involve
- 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.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
