What we fit in Welshpool
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Welshpool, 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
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.

Questions from businesses in Welshpool
Do you service and repair dock levellers across Powys?
Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across Powys, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.
Can our dock leveller in Welshpool 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.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Welshpool?
A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
