Hydraulic Dock Leveler

Hydraulic Dock Leveler is an auxiliary device in warehouses and factories. This product operates on the principle of hydraulic lifting. Provides the function of balancing the floor of the factory with the floor of the container truck. Dock leveler makes the process of transporting goods by forklifts convenient, easy, fast and safe.

1. What is Hydraulic Dock Leveler?

Hydraulic Dock Leveler is an industrial device installed directly on the floor of the warehouse. This device has the ability to be raised/lowered thanks to the hydraulic pump principle. When in its normal state, it looks like the floor of the warehouse.

2. Uses of Hydraulic Dock Leveler

At the factory/warehouse, trucks and containers often approach the warehouse door to deliver and receive goods from the warehouse, with the support of forklifts transporting goods. At this point the problem starts to appear, when the height of the container floor or a different transport vehicle (from the ground up) is higher or lower than the height of the he floor of the warehouse / receiving area (from the ground up). above). Forklifts transporting goods back and forth face major obstacles: Moving slowly, easily tripping over goods, causing accidents,…

The hydraulic lifting floor appears to be a bridge that helps eliminate the height difference between the container floor and the floor of the warehouse, connecting these two points to help them balance each other. At this time, the forklift can comfortably move back and forth between the container floor and the floor of the warehouse, the goods delivery process takes place smoothly and quickly. Avoid collisions that damage goods and ensure safety for workers in the area.

• High durability, continuous operation
• Withstands large forklift and cargo loads
• Flexible features, depending on factory requirements
• Diverse designs, sizes,
• Save time, ensure goods safety and labor safety

3.2 Principle of operation

When receiving the Open – Lift command, the engine operates, the hydraulic cylinder helps lift the Protection plate up, the Junction plate opens, then slowly lowers until the Junction touches the truck bed, then stops.

The raised platform will remain fixed and secure until it has stopped to allow vehicles and goods to pass freely
After completing the work, the lifting platform receives the command, the engine operates, the hydraulic cylinder lifts Protection up, the Junction plate collapses, then slowly lowers neatly into the dock.

4. Application

Hydraulic Dock Leveler is most commonly used in freight forwarding areas of factories, storage warehouses, cold warehouses, docks, ports,…
In addition, at the installation location Hydraulic Dock Leveler is often combined with Overhead door and Dock Shelter to minimize cold air loss and ensure a clean transportation process, preventing insects and dust. Dirty, foreign objects get inside.
