What to specify
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Commissioning. Every unit is tested through its full cycle before handover, with documentation.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn swing-lip dock levellers in their existing pits, with pit edge repairs and new dock bumpers.
- Sizing a longer leveller platform for a bay that receives both low-bed vans and high-bed articulated trailers.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Swindon, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
