Frequently asked questions
Is our dock leveller in Macclesfield safe to use?
If it drifts, drops, leaks significantly, has cracked hinges or damaged toe guards, or will not return to stored position, stop using it and isolate it until it has been inspected and repaired.
How soon can you repair a leveller at our Macclesfield site?
We book repair visits as soon as we can and confirm the expected date when you call. We do not promise fixed response times. Photos and the leveller make help us bring likely parts.

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.
