What to specify
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Warwick?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about dock levellers
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Warwick?
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.
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Warwick?
Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.
Can you replace the dock leveller at our Warwick 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.
