Long-standing customer and UK furniture giant contacts the Dock Leveller experts when they needed a dock leveller for their site in Maidstone, Kent.
Our Client requested a quick turnaround which Armo was happy to fulfil as the swing lip dock leveller was in stock at the head office in Telford, Shropshire. They also requested a weekend installation to stop any adverse impact on their operations.
The Armo Swing Lip Dock Leveller model ARSL is available as standard and non-standard size. Non-standard sizes are made-to-order. This particular leveller was needed as standard at 2000mm x 2500mm to fit a pit depth of 600mm. The swing lip on this project was 400mm with a 5º curvature for when loading above dock.
For corrosion protection all dock levellers are factory treated, primed and painted with two top coats of Blue RAL 5010 hard enamel.
The dock leveller was suspended in a frame design complete with base frame and support legs, with the legs bolted to the floor. The overall width of the leveller and frame was 2500mm that is to match the site requirements.
Included in the quote was a pair of Rubber Dock Buffers to be mounted on a 15mm steel backing, fully welded to the front the leveller and frame.
Armo (UK) also installed a pair of bolt down wheel guides, a set of interlocked gates mounted at the front of the leveller complete with drop down bolts and traffic light safety system to be interlocked with the leveller.
