What we fit in Kidsgrove
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
What this work can involve
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Kidsgrove 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.
