Mechanical Edge of Dock Leveller
This type of leveller can be utilised when the site has uniform bed height trucks that park on loading bays and where the retaining wall height is either +/- 100mm difference to the truck bed height.
The Nova mechanical dock leveller with hinged lip is mounted against the loading bay and is user friendly and straight forward to operate. Thanks to its compact construction design, it caters for loading operations even in the restricted spaces. Due to its load capacity of 60 kN, the leveller can also be driven over by fork-lift trucks.
Structure consists in the following units:
✓ A self-supporting framework
✓ A platform on the front side of which the hinged lip is located – platform and hinged lip are connected to each other via a hinge system
✓ Operating rod with ergonomic handle
✓ Material The framework construction is made of steel profiles and metal sheets. The beam-reinforced platform and the hinged lip have an anti-slip surface made of tear plates.
✓ Surface All steel construction parts are painted in RAL 5010 (gentian blue), RAL 7016 (charcoal grey) or RAL 9005 (black). To ensure an optimal corrosion protection, all steel parts are first sandblasted and then coated with two-component paint.
✓ Operation via the operating rod included as standard. A gas cylinder makes it possible to unfold the hinged lip silently.
✓ Safety devices: Foot guards
✓ Due to the twisting of the platform, the hinged lip is lying flat on the vehicle bed even if the load is single-sided. This ensures that no steps or tripping hazards are formed.
