Armo (UK) installed Armo ARSL Swing Lip Dock Levellers and Dock Buffers in Shropshire

Our client is based in Whitchurch, Shropshire, operates a purpose-built 35-acre site and offers 172,000 pallet spaces of multi-temperature storage, and they are a leading provider of cold storage and logistics services to the food industry. They have been operating for over 80 years.

On this occasion, Armo (UK) replaced a Dock Leveller with an Armo ARSL Swing Lip Dock Leveller and heavy-duty buffers, with Steel Capping.  Full details to follow:

Armo Swing Lip Dock Levellers 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 eight 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.

Loading Dock Buffers model ARDB

Loading Dock Buffers are made from heavy duty solid rubber, fixed to a prime and painted solid steel backing plate using M24 fixings and the plate in turn is welded in position to provide a long-lasting solid fixing.
