Options that matter on site
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Smethwick?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

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.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Smethwick?
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 service and repair dock levellers across the West Midlands?
Yes. We service and repair most makes of dock leveller across the West Midlands, including hydraulic power packs, cylinders, hoses, lips, hinges and controls. Service and repair visits are chargeable and priced before work starts.
