Dock Leveler

Dock Leveler

The loading and unloading platform effectively bridges the height difference between the truck bed and the platform through the coordinated operation of the control system, electric-hydraulic power unit, adjustment plate, and lip plate, significantly improving operational efficiency. It features a dynamic load capacity of 6.3T and a static load capacity of 13.6T.

Safety is enhanced with automatically retractable side guard baffles, a reliable hydraulic speed control valve, and an anti-fall safety valve. The 400mm innovative double 5° arch-bridge reinforced lip design ensures a smoother transition, minimizing impact damage to forklifts, platforms, and the dock leveler.

For specialized environments, telescopic dock levelers are available, offering a dynamic load of 6,000 kg, static load of 8,000 kg, and a telescopic lip extension of up to 1,000 mm. (Patented technology)

One door, one code, lifelong service.

Installation conditions

About the dock leveler, we can design and offer you professional 3D and CAD drawings according to installation conditions. It’s very easy to install a dock leveler when the pit is ready well. It also makes your logistic work more convenient.

Common Types of Dock Levelers

Mechanical Dock Leveler

Mechanical dock levelers are simple, durable, and ideal for moderate traffic. Powered by a spring system and manual pull chain, they reduce costs and require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution.

Edge of Dock Levelers

Edge of dock levelers are cost-effective and ideal for small loading areas. Mounted on the dock face, they provide safe, ergonomic height adjustment for standard dock heights, making them a popular, budget-friendly choice.

Vertical Dock Leveler

Vertical dock levelers seal tightly when upright, preventing air loss and maintaining energy efficiency. Ideal for logistics, they reduce energy waste and keep the warehouse environment controlled.

Loading Dock Scissor Leveler

Scissor dock levelers provide stable, smooth elevation adjustments for varying truck heights. Hydraulically operated, they offer easy, safe operation, making them ideal for high-traffic environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

A dock leveler is a bridge device that safely spans the gap between a loading dock and a truck bed, enabling smooth forklift and pedestrian access.

There are three main types:

1.Mechanical: Spring-powered, manual pull-chain operation.

2.Hydraulic: Electric-hydraulic pump for push-button control.

3.Pneumatic (Air): Air-bag system for environments where hydraulics aren’t ideal.

Consider: total load weight, daily use frequency, required lip-plate extension, dock height variance, and needed safety features (e.g., interlocks, seals).

With proper upkeep, most dock levelers last 5–20 years, depending on type and usage intensity.

Industry best practice is a professional inspection every 90 days to check springs, hydraulics, seals, and safety devices.

Calculate as: (Forklift weight + max cargo weight) × 2.55.
E.g., a 12,000 lb forklift + 3,500 lb load → 15,500 lb × 2.55 ≈ 39,525 lb capacity.

Common causes: weak spring tension, damaged spring assists, or hydraulic/pneumatic faults. Schedule a service call for spring adjustment or system repair.

Often due to aging or improperly adjusted springs. Check and reset spring tension; replace springs if worn.
