What we fit in Farnham

Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
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.

What this work can involve

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Farnham, 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
