What we fit in Staffordshire

Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.

Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Staffordshire 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
