The short version
Mixed fleet at your Paisley (PA1) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

What to specify
- 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. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Paisley the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Paisley?
Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.
Can our dock leveller in Paisley 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.
