How we look after doors in Hythe
- Safety devices. Toe guards, velocity fuses, struts and emergency stops restored.
- Hydraulic repairs. Leaks, drift and slow operation traced to their source and fixed.
- Bumpers and guides. New bumpers and guides stop trailers damaging the leveller, shelter and wall.

Jobs we can carry out
- Rebuilding the lip hinge on a swing-lip leveller damaged by forklifts driving onto the lip before it rests on the trailer.
- Replacing a failed hydraulic power pack on a leveller whose platform no longer rises from its stored position.
- Straightening a bent leveller lip and fitting steel-faced bumpers so trailers stop short of the dock edge.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Hythe 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
