Options that matter on site

Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.

Examples of work we can quote for

Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Stafford, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
