What we fit in Banstead

Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.

Typical scopes of work

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

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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Banstead vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Banstead

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Banstead 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.

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Banstead?

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.

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

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.
