What to specify

Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.

Jobs we can carry out

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Clevedon, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
