The short version
When a dock leveller at your Hereford warehouse is beyond economic repair, we price a replacement unit into the existing pit alongside the repair, so you can compare the two options honestly.

What our engineers check and fix
- Safety devices. Safety features checked and repaired so the leveller is safe to use and service.
- Controls. Electrical faults found and repaired, including door-to-leveller interlocks.
- Lips and hinges. Bent lips, cracked hinges and worn pins repaired or renewed.
- Hydraulic repairs. Power packs, cylinders, hoses and seals repaired or replaced.
- Clear pricing. You know the visit cost before we arrive and the repair cost before we order.
Typical scopes of work
- Straightening a bent leveller lip and fitting steel-faced bumpers so trailers stop short of the dock edge.
- Renewing torn side and top curtains on retractable dock shelters damaged by off-centre reversing.
- Replacing a failed hydraulic power pack on a leveller whose platform no longer rises from its stored position.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Hereford 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
Service and repair visits in Hereford are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.

Frequently asked questions
Can you repair our dock leveller in Hereford 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.
Is our dock leveller in Hereford safe to use?
If it drifts, drops, leaks significantly, has cracked hinges or damaged toe guards, or will not return to stored position, stop using it and isolate it until it has been inspected and repaired.
Do you repair dock shelters across Herefordshire?
Yes. We replace torn curtains, repair bent frames and scissor arms, fix inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew worn bumpers across Herefordshire, always quoting a fixed price before ordering made-to-measure parts.
