Dock levellers in Woking

At a glance

New-build loading docks in Woking 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.

Town: Woking
Postcode district: GU22
Area: Surrey
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.

Typical scopes of work

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Woking, 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.

How the work is organised

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.
