Dock levellers in Sunbury-on-Thames

New-build loading docks in Sunbury-on-Thames need levellers planned early. We provide pit details for the groundworks contractor, then fit and commission the levellers and interlock them with the dock doors once those are in.

What to specify

Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Sunbury-on-Thames?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
