What we fit in West Sussex
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Jobs we can carry out
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including West Sussex, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
