What we fit in Evesham
- Toe guards. Guards along each side keep feet out from under the moving platform.
- Door interlocks. Leveller works only with the door open; the door cannot close on it.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Velocity fuse. If pressure is lost suddenly, the platform locks instead of dropping.
What this work can involve
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Evesham, 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
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.

Your questions about dock levellers
Can our dock leveller in Evesham 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.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Evesham?
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.
How much is a dock leveller in Evesham?
Our guide price is £6,495 to £10,995 ex VAT for a hydraulic swing-lip leveller into a prepared pit, and £8,495 to £13,995 for telescopic lip. Your fixed price in Evesham, including any pit work, is confirmed in writing after a free survey.
