Options for dock levellers in South Yorkshire
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Typical scopes of work
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in South Yorkshire?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in South Yorkshire 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.
