What we fit in Bishopbriggs
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Bishopbriggs, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Bishopbriggs can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
