What to specify
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Velocity fuse. Hydraulic safety valve locks the platform if a hose fails or a trailer moves.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Bradford?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in West Yorkshire 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.
