Dock levellers
“Dock-levellers bridge the difference in height and distance between the loading bay and the vehicle floor. The dock-leveller ensures an optimal connection between the lip and the vehicle bed. During loading and unloading, the dock-leveller will automatically follow each up and down movement and due to the lateral flexibility the dock-leveller will follow the ‘tilting’ movements of the vehicle as well. “Dock-levellers bridge the difference in height and distance between the loading bay and the vehicle floor.

The length of the dock-leveller is determined by the maximum acceptable gradient which is governed by the internal transport and type of load. With a greater difference in levels between the vehicle bed and the building floor, the dock-leveller must be increased in length to reduce the gradient.
