Quick answer
Mixed fleet at your Walton-on-Thames (KT12) site, with vans, rigid lorries and trailers? We size the platform and lip so forklifts and pallet trucks get a manageable slope across the full range of bed heights.

Options that matter on site
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- 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.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Walton-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.
Planning the work around your site
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.
