How we look after doors in Uppingham
- Controls. Control panels, buttons, automatic return and interlocks fixed.
- Clear pricing. You know the visit cost before we arrive and the repair cost before we order.
- Lips and hinges. Bent lips, cracked hinges and worn pins repaired or renewed.
- Safety devices. Safety features checked and repaired so the leveller is safe to use and service.
- Bumpers and guides. New bumpers and guides stop trailers damaging the leveller, shelter and wall.
Typical scopes of work
- Rebuilding the lip hinge on a swing-lip leveller damaged by forklifts driving onto the lip before it rests on the trailer.
- 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 Uppingham 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
