Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Telford 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

Most installations in Telford can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
