Dock levellers in Bognor Regis

Quick answer

Mixed fleet at your Bognor Regis (PO21) 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.

Town: Bognor Regis
Postcode district: PO21
Area: West Sussex
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.

Typical scopes of work

Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bognor Regis 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in West Sussex 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.

Dock levellers in Bognor Regis: your questions

Can our dock leveller in Bognor Regis be interlocked with the door?

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 Bognor Regis?

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.

Can you replace the dock leveller at our Bognor Regis warehouse using the existing pit?

Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.
