What we fit in Crawley
- 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.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
Typical scopes of work
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Crawley, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
