Options for dock levellers in Stourbridge
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Stourbridge, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in the West Midlands 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.
