Electro/Hydraulic Swing Lip Dock Leveller

The model ARSL is in full compliance with BS EN 1398.

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 with the Loading Bay.

The Armo Swing Lip Dock Leveller is 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.

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.
