Hydraulic Dock Levellers offer the best of current technology – strong, robust construction, safe automatic operation, 100mm sideways tilt for canted vehicles, full rated load for cross-traffic.
Although not as popular as before (now something of a dying breed), mechanical Dock Levellers are still available from IDS using steel swing-lips, to special quotation.
The HL Dock Leveller uses a conventional swing-lip. The HL is simple in design and lower in capital cost, but restricted in range because the final lip position cannot be adjusted, so the lorry must be perfectly positioned. The IDS TS has a telescopic lip, fully adjustable, by push-button control, so the lip can be adjusted to suit the lorry. This makes loading/unloading much quicker, safer and less open to human error.
All standard Dock Levellers use suspended frame design, so there is no load transfer directly into the base of the pit. This means the pit base can easily be widened to accept a lowered tail-lift platform (see Pit Construction details) without the need for extra structure supports.
IDS recommend that all hydraulic Dock Levellers include this feature to return the Leveller to parked position if and when the lorry moves away unexpectedly. Otherwise the lip can remain exposed to possible damage by the next vehicle.
IDS offer a full range of Dock Shelters and Insulated Doors to complete your Loading Bay Package. They give the best weatherproofing with smart looks to enhance your building. IDS windows mean your people don’t waste time or energy costs while lorries are parking.
IDS sprint high-speed Roller Doors are a market leader. Used at draughty doorways with busy fork-lift traffic, they open and close in seconds, keeping warmed air in and energy wastage down.
