A dock leveller is a well-engineered solution designed to precisely compensate for height differences between lorry floors and loading ramps. With either a hydraulic dock leveller or a mechanical system, goods can be moved smoothly in or out of the vehicle with a single horizontal motion.
Built with a sturdy steel construction, the dock leveller platform features an anti-twist design that easily compensates for vehicle tilting, even when loads are unevenly distributed.
The reliable hydraulic system – equipped with two lifting cylinders and one lip cylinder – ensures safe and efficient operation. Each hydraulic dock leveller includes automatic emergency stop valves that instantly secure the platform if a lorry moves unexpectedly during loading.
At Alniff Industries, we provide dock leveller solutions for every loading situation – ensuring efficient, reliable, and safe loading and unloading operations for your facility.
The possibility of moving across a single horizontal surface is one that removes many complications from the process of moving cargo from loading area to vehicle. Eradicating the need for external logistics such as forklifts, cargo can now be moved at maximum speed, much like they would be moved on normal, flat areas.
The ability to move cargo and products at pristine condition is a factor that creates distinctions between warehouse buildings. Buildings appear more accommodating when the cargo of their clientele can be moved free of damage.
Dock levellers ensure that products can be moved in one, singular motion, reducing any impact that they may take from being lifted and put down repeatedly, from platform to platform. In addition, dock levellers also dampen the impact of vehicles against dock doors.
Dock levellers, especially hydraulic ones, comprise of lifting cylinders that have emergency stop valves within them. This is especially integral in the event that one of the unloading platforms are compromised. For instance, if a lorry drives off prior to a load being taken off the platform.
Not to mention, a dock leveller creates a single level for cargo movement, safeguarding staff at all times. This saves them from exerting copious amounts of force to transfer cargo between levels.
The dock levelling solutions at Alniff transform the way cargo is moved — making the process more ergonomic, efficient, and safe. Our dock levellers are designed to create secure working environments for everyone involved in the loading and unloading process — from buildings and movers to the companies that rely on them.
With a wide range of dock levellers available, our equipment reflects the latest advancements in industry standards and operational needs. This includes specialised options such as scissor lifts and scissor lift tables, providing flexible and reliable solutions for every loading scenario.
