Options for dock levellers in Esher

Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.

What this work can involve

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.

Loading bay safety in England

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

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
