Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.
Keeping your site running during the work
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Repair is usually the first step. If the platform is cracked, the pit edges are broken or repairs are frequent, we price a replacement into the existing pit alongside the repair so you can compare.

Yes. We repair most makes of hydraulic and mechanical leveller. If original parts are no longer made, we look for compatible alternatives or explain why replacement into the existing pit may be better.
