In short
When a dock leveller at your Smethwick 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
- Lips and hinges. Structural damage to lips and hinges repaired so the platform supports loads safely.
- Safety devices. Safety features checked and repaired so the leveller is safe to use and service.
- Controls. Control panels, buttons, automatic return and interlocks fixed.
- Most makes. Repairs to most makes of leveller and shelter.
- Hydraulic repairs. Leaks, drift and slow operation traced to their source and fixed.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a failed hydraulic power pack on a leveller whose platform no longer rises from its stored position.
- Straightening a bent leveller lip and fitting steel-faced bumpers so trailers stop short of the dock edge.
- Repairing damaged toe guards and a faulty emergency stop identified during a leveller safety inspection.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Smethwick 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 Smethwick 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.

Your questions about dock leveller and loading bay repairs
How soon can you repair a leveller at our Smethwick 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.
Can loading bay repairs in Smethwick 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.
Should we repair or replace our leveller in Smethwick?
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.
