Options for dock levellers in Stratford-upon-Avon
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
What this work can involve
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Stratford-upon-Avon, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about dock levellers
Can our dock leveller in Stratford-upon-Avon 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 Stratford-upon-Avon, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
