Options that matter on site
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
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.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in West Bridgford?
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
For busy sites in Nottinghamshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
