Hydraulic Swing-Lip Dock Levelers are engineered to provide safe, efficient, and reliable loading and unloading operations, minimizing downtime and improving overall warehouse workflow. They ensure a smooth and level transition between the dock floor and vehicle bed, significantly reducing the risk of personnel injury and material handling equipment damage.
Technical Construction & Materials
- Platform & Lip: Fabricated from high-tensile structural steel with chequered or anti-skid surface for maximum load-bearing capacity and slip resistance.
- Swing Lip: Heavy-duty steel lip with chamfered edges for smooth engagement with vehicle beds.
- Frame & Support Beams: Reinforced MS structural steel channels and beams designed for high static and dynamic loads.
Hydraulic & Power System
- Hydraulic Power Pack:Electric motor-driven hydraulic power unit
- Motor: Heavy-duty electric motor (230V / 415V)
- Hydraulic Pump: High-pressure gear pump
- Cylinders: Hard-chromed hydraulic cylinders for platform lifting and lip operation
- Hydraulic Oil: Industrial-grade hydraulic oil suitable for continuous operation
