What to specify
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
What this work can involve
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- 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 West Yorkshire, 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Your questions about dock levellers
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around West Yorkshire?
Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in West Yorkshire?
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.

Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.
