Options for dock levellers in Batley
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- 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.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
What this work can involve
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Batley?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Batley can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
