Options for dock levellers in Wallsend
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
What this work can involve
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Wallsend the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
