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.

Main Advantages

  • Safe and efficient loading and unloading of trucks
  • Compensation for height differences between loading docks and vehicles
  • Mechanical or hydraulic operation
  • Reduced risk of cargo damage and workplace accidents
  • Suitable for different types of commercial vehicles
  • Robust steel construction with a non-slip surface
  • Various installation configurations available

Construction

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.

Optional Equipment

Depending on the project requirements, loading levelers can be equipped with:

  • Rubber bumpers for protecting the loading dock and vehicles
  • Alternative RAL colour finishes
  • Hot-dip galvanised surface finish
  • Installation brackets for rubber bumpers

Product parameters

PRODUCT PARAMETERS

Loading Leveler Types

Loading levelers are available in two operating configurations.

Mechanical Loading Leveler

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.

Hydraulic Loading Leveler

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.

Dimensions

Loading levelers are available in the following standard dimensions:

  • Standard widths: 1,500 mm, 1,750 mm and 2,000 mm
  • Total length: Approximately 735 mm
  • Lip overlap onto the vehicle loading platform: 150 mm

Working Range

The loading leveler compensates for differences in height between the loading dock and the vehicle loading platform.

  • Maximum working range above dock level: +70 mm
  • Maximum working range below dock level: −100 mm

Load Capacity

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

  • Nominal load capacity: 40 kN
  • Load capacity when using forklifts with hard wheels (PU or Vulkollan): 30 kN

Hydraulic Loading Levelers

  • Nominal load capacity: 60 kN
  • Load capacity when using forklifts with hard wheels (PU or Vulkollan): 50 kN

Safety Features

Loading levelers are equipped with safety elements designed to reduce the risk of injury during operation.

  • Side protection plates prevent feet from becoming trapped between the loading dock and the moving platform.
  • Black and yellow safety markings identify potentially hazardous areas.

Rubber Bumpers

Loading levelers can be equipped with a pair of rubber bumpers to protect the loading dock and vehicles during docking.

  • Bumper dimensions: 500 × 250 × 80 mm
  • Quantity: Two bumpers

Depending on the installation configuration, the bumpers can be mounted directly onto the loading dock wall or onto dedicated mounting brackets.

Installation Requirements

Loading levelers can be installed using two different mounting configurations, depending on the construction of the loading dock.

Pit Installation

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.

Frame Installation

The loading leveler is installed on the front edge of the loading dock.

This configuration includes mounting brackets designed to accommodate rubber bumpers.

Construction Preparation

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.
