The short version
When a dock leveller at your Rickmansworth 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
- Shelter repairs. Torn curtains replaced and damaged frames straightened or renewed.

Examples of work we can quote for
- Rebuilding the lip hinge on a swing-lip leveller damaged by forklifts driving onto the lip before it rests on the trailer.

- Restoring a door-to-leveller interlock that has been bypassed and testing the bay sequence before handover.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Rickmansworth 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.
