What we fit in Oakham
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Oakham?
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
For busy sites in Rutland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
