Town: Kinross
Postcode district: KY13
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.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.

Jobs we can carry out

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Kinross 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.

How the work is organised

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Dock levellers in Kinross: your questions

How much is a dock leveller in Kinross?

Our guide price is £6,495 to £10,995 ex VAT for a hydraulic swing-lip leveller into a prepared pit, and £8,495 to £13,995 for telescopic lip. Your fixed price in Kinross, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.

Can our dock leveller in Kinross be interlocked with the door?

Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Kinross?

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.
