Town: Cleckheaton
Postcode district: BD19
Area: West Yorkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Telescopic lips. Extending lips placed precisely on the bed for awkward vehicles and loads.
Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Cleckheaton 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.

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.
