How we look after doors in Govan
- Safety devices. Safety features checked and repaired so the leveller is safe to use and service.
- Clear pricing. Chargeable visits priced up front, fixed quotes for larger repairs.
- Hydraulic repairs. Power packs, cylinders, hoses and seals repaired or replaced.
- Most makes. We work on loading bay equipment from many manufacturers.
- Bumpers and guides. New bumpers and guides stop trailers damaging the leveller, shelter and wall.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a leaking hydraulic cylinder on a dock leveller that drifts down under load.
- Repairing damaged toe guards and a faulty emergency stop identified during a leveller safety inspection.
- Rebuilding the lip hinge on a swing-lip leveller damaged by forklifts driving onto the lip before it rests on the trailer.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Govan the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
