What we fit in Cookstown
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
What this work can involve
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- 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 Cookstown?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in County Tyrone 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.
