Options that matter on site
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Didcot 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Didcot can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
