Ergonomics and reduced wear and tear
The telescopic lip can be supplied in steel or high-stability aluminium alloy.
The latter is extremely flat, resulting in smoother passages between leveller
and truck bed – giving ergonomic as well as economical advantages due to
reduced chock loads for people and less wear and tear on the handling
equipment.
Horizontally at “eye level” with the vehicle bed!
Loading and unloading vehicles with beds considerable higher or lower than the
ramp floor can sometimes be difficult. As an option, the combidock can be
equipped with a front section operating in parallel with the bed of the
vehicle. This facilitates operations from the forklift driver’s eye level
and gives the forks a better operating angle. |

Lorry or van – just turn the switch!
Simply set the selection switch and the relevant automation program is started.
When set on “Small Lorries”, leveller lip side tongues are retracted
and the width is reduced by 1000 mm. At the same time, the down-force of the
leveller platform is reduced by a hydraulic unit. Just use the selector switch
for return to standard lorry performance.
Time losses eliminated at inaccurate dock-ins!
Should the vehicle not be accurately docked to the loading ramp, the telescopic
lip will still bridge the distance between bed and ramp. The same goes for a
situation where the bed is utilised to the last centimeter – the
telescopic lip will connect with the small space left and safely bridge the
distance. No time consuming vehicle maneuvers are necessary. |

Automatic adjustment to vehicle bed movements during loading and
unloading
Vehicles sink and rise during loading and unloading. A special safety control
system ensures that the leveller automatically follows the vertical movements
of the vehicle bed. Should the bed move horizontally, the same automatic system
keeps the lip against the bed, facilitating safe and smooth passages.
Useful options
- Crawford eye to facilitate the dock-in procedure
- Noise Reduction and Slip Protection coating
- Hot dip galvanised coating
- Protective sealing between leveller and building
- Floating buffers
- Build-in frame alternatives
