Options for dock levellers in Epsom

Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.

What this work can involve

Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Epsom, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about dock levellers

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Epsom?

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.

Can our dock leveller in Epsom 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.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Epsom 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.
