What to specify

Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Blairgowrie?

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

Sites in and around Blairgowrie vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
