Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a leaking hydraulic cylinder on a dock leveller that drifts down under load.

- Replacing a failed hydraulic power pack on a leveller whose platform no longer rises from its stored position.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in the Scottish Borders?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can loading bay repairs in the Scottish Borders be done out of hours?
Yes. Repairs take a bay out of use, so we can work early, late or at weekends where needed, with any extra cost shown in the quote before the visit is booked.
Do you repair dock shelters across Scotland?
Yes. We replace torn curtains, repair bent frames and scissor arms, fix inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew worn bumpers across Scotland, always quoting a fixed price before ordering made-to-measure parts.
Should we repair or replace our leveller in the Scottish Borders?
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.
