'''Dock Levellers''' are well-designed solutions for precisely compensating the differences in height between various lorry floors and ramps. Using a dock leveller, the load can be moved in or out of the lorry in a single horizontal movement. | |||
A sturdy steel construction with anti-twist platform easily compensates for lorry tilting, even if the load is not distributed evenly. | |||
Reliable hydraulics with 2 lifting cylinders and a cylinder for the lip is the right choice for any situation, easy to operate and, above all, safe: these dock levellers are equipped with automatic emergency stop valves in the lifting cylinders. They secure the dock leveller right away. This is important, for example, if a lorry drives away while a load is still on the platform. | |||
==Common Types== | |||
===Container dock levelers=== | |||
Accommodate the loading and unloading of container vehicles when containers are not positioned at the rear of the truck bed, or for the leading trailer of B doubles. | |||
===Edge of dock / Mini dock levelers=== | |||
Suitable when the difference in the range of vehicle bed heights to dock height is minimal. | |||
===Vertical dock levelers=== | |||
Stored vertically, ideal for temperature-controlled environments. | |||
===Truck levelers=== | |||
Designed to lift the rear of the truck to the level of the dock for safe and effective loading/ unloading. Truck levellers can be built with automatic wheel chocks that safely restrain the vehicle. | |||
===Igloo dock levelers=== | |||
Designed to maintain the ‘Cold Chain’. A stepped down model is available if the swing doors of a truck are to be opened after the truck is positioned against the dock. | |||
