Options that matter on site
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Typical scopes of work
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Horley?
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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Horley?
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.
Can our dock leveller in Horley 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.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Horley?
A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
