Dock levellers form the backbone of a well-functioning loading bay, ensuring smooth and secure movement of goods between vehicles and warehouses. From standard swing lip models to telescopic lip designs for precise vehicle alignment, our range of dock levellers can be tailored to suit your site’s specific requirements. For Reading’s diverse industrial and commercial sectors, having the right dock leveller system in place reduces manual handling risks, prevents damage to goods, and streamlines loading and unloading processes.

Common Dock Leveller Issues & Maintenance Needs

Regular maintenance is key to preventing breakdowns and ensuring dock levellers continue operating smoothly. Watch out for these common problems:

Hydraulic failures - Loss of pressure or fluid leaks can cause slow or unresponsive movement.
Misalignment - If the platform isn’t level with the vehicle, it can lead to unsafe loading conditions.
Lip hinge wear - Over time, constant movement can weaken components, affecting performance.

Scheduled servicing helps detect faults early, preventing costly disruptions. With Reading’s fast-paced logistics sector and its position as a key transport hub along the M4 corridor, businesses can’t afford unexpected delays. Our tailored maintenance plans ensure your dock levellers stay compliant, efficient, and ready for daily use.
