Telescopic Lip (HTL) Dock Leveller
The hydraulic dock leveller with telescopic lip (700 mm or 1000 mm) is available as pit model, dock box model and hang-in frame model to allow easy configuration to suit your existing pit (e.g. replacement dock levellers) or newly constructed (prefabricated) concrete pit, it is ideal for refrigerated installations and side loading of vehicles. The durable platform is raised by two lifting cylinders with a build in velocity fuse to rapidly stop platform descent in case of an emergency. The microprocessor controls can be adjusted to meet your specific operating requirements. The safety features include return to dock position, velocity fuse free-fall protection, full range toe-guards with painted yellow/black warning stripes and a maintenance support strut.
Features & Benefits
The standard Telescopic Lip Dock Leveller employ two lengths of lip, 500mm and 1000mm enabling extended reach over tail lifts and with its precise control making it possible to unload vehicles with pallets right at the very back.
The HTL model is in full compliance with BS EN 1398.
The HTL Telescopic Dock Levellers are designed in 3 installation styles to suit your loading bay.
Operation: The Platform rise button is held depressed; the platform can rise to the top of its range, and then by pressing the lip extend button and the lip will move forward to the desired loading position, by then pressing the platform lower button the lip will descend onto the bed of the vehicle. As standard the HTL telescopic lip dock leveller comes with an auto-park function, by pressing this button the platform will rise and the lip retracts fully, the platform then lowers itself back to the cross traffic position to complete the loading process.
Finish: Galvanising is an effective treatment to ensure a durable anti-corrosion protection. Especially in the food industry the application of a hot dip galvanised dock-leveller is preferred. The life span of a zinc coating can vary between 10 to 50 years, all depending on the atmosphere to which the galvanised steel is exposed. After the galvanising process, the dock levellers are primed and painted in the standard colour Black RAL 9005. It is possible to supply the dock-leveller in any other (non-metallic) desired colour. A non-slip paint is available as a platform finish.
