Dock levellers in Crieff

The short version

We can supply and install dock levellers in Crieff and throughout Perth and Kinross, from single replacement units on older warehouses to full runs of loading bays on new-build distribution sheds, with pit work and interlocks included where needed.

Town: Crieff
Postcode district: PH7
Area: Perth and Kinross
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Crieff, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

Keeping your site running during the work

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Crieff

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Crieff?

Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.
