What we fit in Rugeley

Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.

Jobs we can carry out

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 Rugeley 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

For busy sites in Staffordshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Dock levellers in Rugeley: your questions

Can our dock leveller in Rugeley 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.

Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Rugeley?

Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.

How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Rugeley?

A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
