Area: West Yorkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.

Typical scopes of work

Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Brighouse the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Brighouse vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
