Our client is one of the UK’s leading food companies, supplying innovative, quality fresh and cooked products to retailers, wholesalers and food service outlets. Their business framework puts people, customers, products and efficiency at the heart of everything they do with a view to growing responsibly.

Therefore, efficient and safe loading is important to our client and that’s why they have chosen Armo UK, we have upgraded two of their loading bays to Armo Swing Lip Dock Levellers. We are also pleased to be looking after the maintenance and servicing of all their loading bays.

Armo Swing Lip Dock Leveller Model ARSL

They are 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.

Operation

The push button is held depressed, whereupon the platform will rise to the top of its range and the lip will swing out under control (the operator can constantly monitor the position of the platform and lip while keeping the button depressed). With the lip extended the button is released and the platform and lip will lower until the vehicle body is sensed, upon which the platform will follow fluctuation in height during loading/unloading. To park the dock leveller the button is held depressed, causing the leveller to rise and retract the lip. At this point releasing the button will allow the leveller to “park” and the leveller will return to its parked position.

The ARSL is in full compliance with BS EN 1398.
