Dock levellers in Caterham

The short version

Dock levellers for distribution centres, warehouses and manufacturing sites in Caterham. We survey your dock height, vehicles and handling equipment, then size and fit a swing-lip or telescopic-lip leveller to suit.

Town: Caterham
Postcode district: CR3
Area: Surrey
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Caterham 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Caterham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
