What this work can involve
- Repairing damaged toe guards and a faulty emergency stop identified during a leveller safety inspection.

- Straightening a bent leveller lip and fitting steel-faced bumpers so trailers stop short of the dock edge.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Edinburgh?
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
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Dock leveller and loading bay repairs in Edinburgh: your questions
Can you repair our dock leveller in Edinburgh 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.
Do you repair dock shelters across Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Yes. We replace torn curtains, repair bent frames and scissor arms, fix inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew worn bumpers across Edinburgh and the Lothians, always quoting a fixed price before ordering made-to-measure parts.
Should we repair or replace our leveller in Edinburgh?
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.
