Options that matter on site
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Typical scopes of work
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Uppingham 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.
