How we look after doors in Altrincham
- Shelter repairs. Torn curtains replaced and damaged frames straightened or renewed.
- Safety devices. Safety features checked and repaired so the leveller is safe to use and service.
- Hydraulic repairs. Leaks, drift and slow operation traced to their source and fixed.
- Bumpers and guides. Worn bumpers and damaged wheel guides replaced.
- Clear pricing. Chargeable visits priced up front, fixed quotes for larger repairs.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a leaking hydraulic cylinder on a dock leveller that drifts down under load.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Altrincham, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
