The short version
Mixed fleet at your Dudley (DY1) 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.

What to specify
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Dudley 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Dudley can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
