What to specify
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Yeovil 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
Sites in and around Yeovil vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
