Loading levelers are designed to provide a safe and efficient connection between loading docks and truck loading platforms. They compensate for differences in height and bridge the gap between the loading dock and the vehicle, allowing smooth movement of goods during loading and unloading operations.
They are particularly suitable for warehouses, logistics centres, distribution facilities and industrial buildings, where efficient cargo handling and safe vehicle access are essential.
Loading levelers help improve loading and unloading efficiency, reduce the risk of cargo damage and increase workplace safety.
Two operating systems are available: mechanical and hydraulic, allowing the most suitable solution to be selected according to the operational requirements.
Loading levelers feature a torsion-resistant platform made of non-slip S235 steel, providing a stable surface for cargo handling equipment.
The platform is equipped with a folding lip that rests on the vehicle loading platform, creating a smooth transition between the loading dock and the truck.
Depending on the selected configuration, the leveler is operated mechanically using a manual lever supported by a gas spring, or hydraulically using a push-button control unit and hydraulic lifting system.
The standard surface finish is blue according to the RAL colour chart. Other RAL colours and hot-dip galvanised versions are available upon request.
Depending on the project requirements, loading levelers can be equipped with:
Loading levelers are available in two operating configurations.
The mechanical loading leveler is operated using a manual lever.
The lifting mechanism is supported by a gas spring located beneath the platform, reducing the effort required during operation.
The hydraulic loading leveler is operated using a push-button control unit.
A hydraulic lifting system raises the platform and positions the folding lip onto the vehicle loading surface.
Loading levelers are available in the following standard dimensions:
The loading leveler compensates for differences in height between the loading dock and the vehicle loading platform.
Loading levelers are designed in accordance with EN 1398.
The available load capacities depend on the selected operating system and configuration.
Mechanical and Hydraulic Loading Levelers
Hydraulic Loading Levelers
Loading levelers are equipped with safety elements designed to reduce the risk of injury during operation.
Loading levelers can be equipped with a pair of rubber bumpers to protect the loading dock and vehicles during docking.
Depending on the installation configuration, the bumpers can be mounted directly onto the loading dock wall or onto dedicated mounting brackets.
Loading levelers can be installed using two different mounting configurations, depending on the construction of the loading dock.
The loading leveler is installed in a pre-prepared recess within the loading dock structure.
In this configuration, the rubber bumpers are mounted directly onto the loading dock wall.
The loading leveler is installed on the front edge of the loading dock.
This configuration includes mounting brackets designed to accommodate rubber bumpers.
Before installation, the loading dock must be prepared according to the manufacturer's technical drawings and installation requirements.
The supporting structure must provide sufficient strength for securing the loading leveler and transferring the operational loads.
The dimensions of the prepared opening and the mounting arrangement depend on the selected loading leveler type and installation configuration.
