Options that matter on site
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Newark-on-Trent the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
