Dock Leveler

Basic Functions of Dock Leveler
The dock leveler is a kind of commonly seen loading dock equipment.It allows users to load and unload goods from trucks in a more convenientmanner.

It forms a slope so as to overcome the heightdifference between the truck and the dock or the warehouse floor. As we know,the height of a truckcan vary within 100mm whenloading or unloading goods. Our range of hydraulic dock levelercan also adjust its height accordingly to balance the positiondeviation.

With the help of the dock leveler, forklift trucks are allowed to travel ontothe truck for goods loading and unloading, which maximally improves workingefficiency.

Simple Use
This dock equipment features simple use. Via simplya press button, the dock leveler will automatically rise to the highest, andthen unfold the lap plate to be connected with the truck. It can also be resetvia the button.

Safety Functions of Dock Leveler
As a dedicated loadingdock solutions provider in China, we pay the highest attention to the safety of all types ofloading dock equipment. Following is a list of the safety protection functionsfor our dock leveler.
1. The dock leveller will keep still even when the truck slips offfrom the leveler by accident. This is because of its dual cylinder and emergencystop valve designs.
(1) The leveleris available with a long hydraulic cylinder on each side, so as to ensuremaximized balance and stability during operation. When accident happens, orthere are forklift trucks or goods on the platform, the dock leveler caneffectively prevent side overturn, thus avoiding damages. The dual-cylinderunit can also be used to adjust the height deviation of the left and rightside. The up-side-down installation for thecylinders allows fractions to escape away, thus avoiding damages to the valveand cylinder body.
(2) The hydraulic system is imported from Germany and offers high stability.It also increases safety due to its emergency stop function.
2. The loading dock equipment is available with toe protection plates on both sides to prevent pinching the toes.
3. The arc shapedlap plate effectively avoids the blind angle.
4. All our dock levelers are manufactured in strictconformation with EN1398 standard. 
5. In addition, there is an Emergency Stop Buttonon the control box, which allows operators to stop the equipment immediatelywhen suddenness happens. The equipment will restart only after the emergencystop button is reset.

Design Features of Dock Leveler
1. The platform and lap plate as well as the frame are all made ofanti-slip embossed steel plate to deliver high strength.
2. With enclosed framework design, the dock leveler features stable structuraldimension and won't deform during installation and transportation. Thefront beam is made from 16# H steel, while the bottom of the leveler is reinforcedusing 10pcs H steel with width exceeding 1950mm. Such design could make sure the stressis evenly distributed to avoid potential deformation.
3. The lap plate is designed into the duck-mouthshape, and is thickened to offer higher strength and stability during goods loadingand unloading. With anti-slip surface design, thelap plate also features a hinge connection to increase the area ofcontact. Thus our dock leveler could evenlydistribute the force to provide a strengthened structure and longer servicetime.
4. The loading dock equipment is available with apair of buffer plate made of high quality rubber, which avoids damages causedby collision. The buffer plate size is 100mm*250mm*500mm.
