What the visit covers in Dumfries
- Hydraulic repairs. Leaks, drift and slow operation traced to their source and fixed.
- Safety devices. Toe guards, velocity fuses, struts and emergency stops restored.

Jobs we can carry out
- Straightening a bent leveller lip and fitting steel-faced bumpers so trailers stop short of the dock edge.
- Clearing debris from a leveller pit and freeing the hinges so the platform returns level to its stored position.
- Replacing a failed hydraulic power pack on a leveller whose platform no longer rises from its stored position.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dumfries?
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.
How the work is organised
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.
