What we fit in Pontefract
- 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.
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Swing-lip levellers. Hinged lips that flip out and land on the trailer bed, suited to most loading bays.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- 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 Pontefract 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
Most installations in Pontefract 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.

Dock levellers in Pontefract: your questions
Can our dock leveller in Pontefract be interlocked with the door?
Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Pontefract?
Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Pontefract?
A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
