Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dorchester?
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
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

Frequently asked questions
Can you repair our dock leveller in Dorchester if you did not install it?
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.
Can loading bay repairs in Dorchester be done out of hours?
Yes. Repairs take a bay out of use, so we can work early, late or at weekends where needed, with any extra cost shown in the quote before the visit is booked.
Should we repair or replace our leveller in Dorchester?
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.
