Options for dock levellers in Cannock

Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.

Jobs we can carry out

Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
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 Cannock?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Cannock

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Cannock?

Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Cannock warehouse using the existing pit?

Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.

Can our dock leveller in Cannock be interlocked with the door?

Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.
