Our client is the UK’s leading multi modal forwarders and logistics organisations, with over 150 years’ experience. Their mission is to satisfy the international freight and supply chain needs of their clients. Hence that is why loading, and unloading is so important to the company.
Following a site survey, by one of Armo’s highly experienced Project Managers. On this project we have manufactured and installed a new Armo Swing Lip Dock Leveller, please see details below.
Armo Swing Lip Dock Leveller Model ARSL
Armo dock levellers 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.
