Options that matter on site
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Hucknall?
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.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Dock levellers in Hucknall: your questions
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Hucknall?

Do you service and repair dock levellers across Nottinghamshire?
Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Nottinghamshire, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.

Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.
