Atlas Range Dock Levellers
There are two types of dock levellers: swing-lip and telescopic lip. With a swing-lip leveller the loading flap is a fixed length (usually 450-500 mm) which swings out as the leveller is raised and then as it drops, settles into the back of the truck.
With a telescopic lip leveller, the lip extends out horizontally allowing you to adjust how far the lip engages into the truck and with lip lengths of up to 1m, can accommodate a greater variation of heights.
You need to ensure that the gradient of the leveller, sitting on the back of the truck is less than 7°.
Chase Equipment Ltd manufactures any size of leveller with capacities of up to 15 tons. Our levellers are of very robust construction to ensure they are reliable throughout their lifetimes, giving a high uptime.
We also work with customers to provide replacement levellers to address changes in vehicles used or loading methods, whilst utilising existing civils.
Dock levellers can also be supplied in selfstanding modules thus avoiding the need to create a pit in the concrete.
Features of the Atlas range dock levellers include:
- All models are of steel construction and incorporate specially selected materials such as anti-slip deck and lip plates with high grade steels for hinge bushes and fulcrum pins.
- Specific factors have been considered within the design of the leveller support frame to ensure that the loads transferred from the deck are correctly distributed to minimise long term fatigue.
- The design of the deck permits limited diagonal torsion movement without fatigue to its structural integrity. This will enable loading/unloading of canted vehicle beds.
- The electro-hydraulic system is powered by a motor rated between 0.75 and 1.1 kw depending on leveller size, requiring a supply voltage of 415/440V 3 phase and earth.
- The control voltage is 24 volt via the transformer housed within the wall-mounted control box which offers protection to IP55.
- Corrosion resistance is minimised with a high specification rust inhibiting paint.
- Pit sitting or suspended frame - for tail-lift accommodation.
