Options that matter on site
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Sized to your fleet. We size the platform for your bed-height range and heaviest laden truck.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Ossett 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
