How we look after doors in Southampton
- Shelter repairs. Curtains, frames, arms and inflatable shelter blowers repaired.
- Lips and hinges. Bent lips, cracked hinges and worn pins repaired or renewed.
- Controls. Control panels, buttons, automatic return and interlocks fixed.
- Clear pricing. Chargeable visits priced up front, fixed quotes for larger repairs.
- Bumpers and guides. Worn bumpers and damaged wheel guides replaced.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Rebuilding the lip hinge on a swing-lip leveller damaged by forklifts driving onto the lip before it rests on the trailer.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Southampton, 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.
How the work is organised
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.
