Options for dock levellers in Burgess Hill

Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.

Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.

What this work can involve

Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
