In short
Each dock leveller project in Redhill starts with a free survey of the dock, the pit, the vehicles that call and the loads you move, followed by a written fixed price before any work begins.

Options for dock levellers in Redhill
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Redhill?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Surrey the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
