What we fit in Swansea
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
What this work can involve
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Swansea 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.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
