Dock Levellers
For an efficient way to ensure the easy transition of goods between your loading bay and docked vehicles, our dock levellers are the perfect solution.
Dock levellers ensure a smooth transition between warehouse floors and vehicles, optimising safety and efficiency during loading.
If you’re looking for the most efficient way to level the height difference between your warehouse floor and a docked vehicle, dock levellers are the ideal solution.
A dock leveller ensures the easy transition of goods between a loading bay and a docked vehicle, keeping stock and staff protected from damage and injury.
At BME, our range of dock levellers are built from galvanised steel or hot galvanised steel, meaning they are built to last. Designed to withstand the bumps and shocks of the daily loading process, you can be confident in their lifespan and reliability. Additionally, they are engineered to accommodate various vehicle heights, resulting in perfect alignment every time.
We have a wide range of dock levellers that are designed to meet whatever your unique requirements are. The most common styles include the swing lip, designed with different lengths of swing-lip up 500mm to ensure safe and efficient loading and unloading, and the telescopic, which enables optimal load utilisation by increasing the contact area between a vehicle bed and the dock leveller with a telescopic-lip.
Each of our dock levellers has various capacities, ranging from everything from 6 tonnes to 15 tonnes. So, no matter what your facility requires, there will be one to suit your business.
Key features & benefits
A dock leveller is a mechanical device that bridges the gap between the warehouse floor and the loading vehicle, ensuring a smooth surface for the transfer of goods. It's crucial for preventing accidents, minimising damage to cargo, and improving efficiency during the loading and unloading process.
Choosing the right dock leveller depends on several factors, including the types of vehicles you typically load from, the volume of goods being transferred, and your warehouse's physical setup. If you’re not sure, we can help you make an informed decision - just ask!
We recommend a scheduled maintenance plan to keep your dock levellers in optimal condition - however, they are generally built to last!
