Dock levellers in Bedworth

In short

Mixed fleet at your Bedworth (CV12) 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.

Town: Bedworth
Postcode district: CV12
Area: Warwickshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.

What this work can involve

Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bedworth 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.

How the work is organised

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.

Questions from businesses in Bedworth

Can our dock leveller in Bedworth be interlocked with the door?

Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.

Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Bedworth?

Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Bedworth warehouse using the existing pit?

Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.
