Options for dock levellers in Nuneaton

Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.

Typical scopes of work

Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
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.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Nuneaton?

The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
