What we fit in Kidderminster
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Sized to your fleet. Platform length and capacity chosen for your vehicles and forklifts.
- Toe guards. Side guards stop feet being trapped as the platform lowers.
- Pit work. Existing pits repaired or re-edged; new pits detailed for groundworks.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting an edge-of-dock leveller to a lightly used bay where a full leveller pit is not needed.
- Supplying box-frame levellers to a groundworks contractor for casting into a new-build dock edge.
- Interlocking new hydraulic levellers with sectional dock doors so neither can be used out of sequence.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Kidderminster 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
For busy sites in Worcestershire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace the dock leveller at our Kidderminster warehouse using the existing pit?
Usually, yes. We measure the pit on survey and allow for any cutting, repair or re-edging needed. If the new unit is a different size, the quote covers the pit modifications as a separate line.
Which leveller type suits our vehicles in Kidderminster?
Swing-lip suits most standard trailer traffic. Telescopic lip suits vehicles parked off the buffers, trailers with tail lifts, or loads packed right to the rear. We recommend after recording your vehicles on survey.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Kidderminster?
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.
