Options for dock levellers in Newtown

Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.

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

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.

How the work is organised

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.
