Armo UK have replaced a Dock Leveller on one of our valued customers sites in Sutton in Ashfield. Following our site survey, we identified the requirement and proceeded to upgrade the Dock Leveller to an Armo Swing Lip Dock Leveller.

Our valued client is a full-service provider specialising in Contract Packing and delivering to major retailers across the country. Lifting and Loading is a vital part of the business, so ensure all the packages are loaded efficiently is crucial to their success.

The Armo Swing Lip Dock Leveller model ARSL is robust in design and construction; the platforms are made from 6/8 mm tear plate steel, supported by a minimum of 8 longitudinal beams to strengthen the deck but still allowing it to twist through its length to cater for vehicles that are out of level. The ARSL is in full compliance with BS EN 1398.

Frame design Armo swing lip dock levellers are designed in 3 installation styles:

  • Traditional pit mounting where the pit is bounded with previously cast-in pit edge angles and the dock leveller sits on a solid pit base, the dock leveller is welded in at the back and front.
  • Suspended versions are available usually for new build projects or to replace existing suspended dock levellers. As their name suggests the dock leveller is suspended from its top edge allowing the underside of the pit to be clear for access by tail lifts; this enables the dock leveller clear access into the deck of the vehicle.
  • Box style dock levellers are designed to provide quick and easy installation in existing buildings. To install a box leveller an oversize pit is required complete with a flat base, the box model leveller is positioned and fixed down and concrete poured around it. Once the electrics are connected the leveller is ready to go.
