What the visit covers in Luton
- Most makes. We work on loading bay equipment from many manufacturers.
- Hydraulic repairs. Power packs, cylinders, hoses and seals repaired or replaced.
- Clear pricing. You know the visit cost before we arrive and the repair cost before we order.
- Bumpers and guides. New bumpers and guides stop trailers damaging the leveller, shelter and wall.
- Lips and hinges. Bent lips, cracked hinges and worn pins repaired or renewed.
What this work can involve
- Straightening a bent leveller lip and fitting steel-faced bumpers so trailers stop short of the dock edge.
- Rebuilding the lip hinge on a swing-lip leveller damaged by forklifts driving onto the lip before it rests on the trailer.
- Clearing debris from a leveller pit and freeing the hinges so the platform returns level to its stored position.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Luton, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
