In short
When a dock leveller at your Kilmarnock warehouse is beyond economic repair, we price a replacement unit into the existing pit alongside the repair, so you can compare the two options honestly.

What our engineers check and fix
- Clear pricing. You know the visit cost before we arrive and the repair cost before we order.
- Shelter repairs. Torn curtains replaced and damaged frames straightened or renewed.
- Hydraulic repairs. Leaks, drift and slow operation traced to their source and fixed.
- Safety devices. Toe guards, velocity fuses, struts and emergency stops restored.
- Most makes. We work on loading bay equipment from many manufacturers.
What this work can involve
- Restoring a door-to-leveller interlock that has been bypassed and testing the bay sequence before handover.
- Straightening a bent leveller lip and fitting steel-faced bumpers so trailers stop short of the dock edge.
- Repairing damaged toe guards and a faulty emergency stop identified during a leveller safety inspection.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Kilmarnock?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Planning the work around your site
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
