How we look after doors in Blyth
- Bumpers and guides. Worn bumpers and damaged wheel guides replaced.
- Shelter repairs. Curtains, frames, arms and inflatable shelter blowers repaired.
- Hydraulic repairs. Leaks, drift and slow operation traced to their source and fixed.
- Controls. Control panels, buttons, automatic return and interlocks fixed.
- Safety devices. Safety features checked and repaired so the leveller is safe to use and service.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a failed hydraulic power pack on a leveller whose platform no longer rises from its stored position.
- Clearing debris from a leveller pit and freeing the hinges so the platform returns level to 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 Blyth 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.
Planning the work around your site
Service and repair visits in Blyth 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
Is our dock leveller in Blyth 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.
Should we repair or replace our leveller in Blyth?
Repair is usually the first step. If the platform is cracked, the pit edges are broken or repairs are frequent, we price a replacement into the existing pit alongside the repair so you can compare.
Can you repair our dock leveller in Blyth 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.
