Quick answer
Mixed fleet at your Neath (SA11) 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.

Options that matter on site
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
What this work can involve
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Neath?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in West Glamorgan the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Neath?
A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Neath?
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.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Neath?
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.
