At Dock Technik, we pride ourselves on providing the very best customer solutions at the most competitive prices. This project seen us working with a blue chip retailer. Our surveyors went to site with the client specification to install a ramp within the existing pit. Our wealth of experience and technical expertise identified the perfect solution for our client creating more warehouse space utilising existing equipment and creating the most efficient unloading solution.Our surveyor engaged with our in house design team and came up with the below design.
The design concept involved a full concrete pit infill, installation of a swing lip dock leveller, installation of a retractable dock shelter, dock buffers/dock bumpers, dock traffic light and wheel alignment guides. Upon review with the client the concept was agreed and our technical team started to develop the design concept.
Our industry leading team of Dockters completed the installation of a swing lip dock leveller, installation of a retractable dock shelter, dock buffers/dock bumpers, dock traffic light and wheel alignment guides.
Below details the site of the pit that required infill and the location for installation of the telescopic lip dock leveller and control equipment for the dock leveller.
To provide optimum installation and turn around to make the loading bay for the client - our design team installed a cast in swing lip dock leveller mounted within a pour in dock leveller frame.
The concrete pour was commissioned and the dock leveller. The sectional door was recommissioned to level on the dock edge.
Below details the external view of the sectional door before the project.
The installation of a swing lip dock leveller, installation of a retractable dock shelter, dock buffers/dock bumpers, dock traffic light and wheel alignment guides was to specification and provided the perfect solution for the client.
The client has been adds to our prestigious list of service customer and we look forward to work with them over the coming years.

DT-SLDL - SWING LIP DOCK LEVELLER
Product Description
The varying heights of trucks and loading bays give dock levellers a vital role in loading and unloading vehicles, the Dock Technik swing lip dock leveller is the perfect design for most scenarios. The bed raises with the press of one button and when It reaches its highest point the lip folds out, it Is then lowered onto the back of the vehicle to form a solid bridge between building and vehicle to begin loading/unloading. The structure is manufactured to a high specification for reliability and the electro/hydraulic system is engineered with regular use in a demanding environment in mind. Our dock levellers comply with BS EN 1398 which specifies the safety requirements for design, construction, installation, maintenance and testing of dock levellers and for safety components on dock levellers.
