Options for dock levellers in Greenock

Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.

What this work can involve

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.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Greenock, 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.

Dock levellers in Greenock: your questions

Can our dock leveller in Greenock 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 Greenock?

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.

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Greenock?

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.
