What is Dock Leveller?

A dock leveller is a device that creates a height-adjustable metal plate to bridge the gap between the loading dock and the vehicle. It ensures smooth loading/unloading operations. In logistics, dock levellers are commonly used to facilitate the movement of goods between the warehouse and the delivery vehicles.

Dock levellers come in different types, such as mechanical, hydraulic, and air-powered. A control panel operates them and can adjust to the height of the vehicle bed. A dock leveller is an essential component of a loading dock to ensure safety and efficiency during the loading and unloading. Proper use of dock levellers can reduce the risk of accidents and damage to goods.
