Dock levellers in Kenilworth

Quick answer

Mixed fleet at your Kenilworth (CV8) 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: Kenilworth
Postcode district: CV8
Area: Warwickshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.

Loading bay safety in England

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

Planning the work around your site

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can our dock leveller in Kenilworth 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.

Our guide price is £6,495 to £10,995 ex VAT for a hydraulic swing-lip leveller into a prepared pit, and £8,495 to £13,995 for telescopic lip. Your fixed price in Kenilworth, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Kenilworth 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.
