Options that matter on site
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- 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. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Newton Mearns?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
