What our engineers check and fix
- Clear pricing. You know the visit cost before we arrive and the repair cost before we order.
- Bumpers and guides. New bumpers and guides stop trailers damaging the leveller, shelter and wall.
- Hydraulic repairs. Power packs, cylinders, hoses and seals repaired or replaced.
- Lips and hinges. Structural damage to lips and hinges repaired so the platform supports loads safely.
- Shelter repairs. Curtains, frames, arms and inflatable shelter blowers repaired.
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.
- Straightening a bent leveller lip and fitting steel-faced bumpers so trailers stop short of the dock edge.
- 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 Newmarket?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Service and repair visits in Newmarket 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 Newmarket 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.
Can loading bay repairs in Newmarket 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.
How soon can you repair a leveller at our Newmarket site?
We book repair visits as soon as we can and confirm the expected date when you call. We do not promise fixed response times. Photos and the leveller make help us bring likely parts.
