What the visit covers in Brighton
- Lips and hinges. Structural damage to lips and hinges repaired so the platform supports loads safely.

Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a failed hydraulic power pack on a leveller whose platform no longer rises from its stored position.

- Restoring a door-to-leveller interlock that has been bypassed and testing the bay sequence before handover.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Brighton, 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.
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.
