Which Dock Leveller is Right for Me?

Choosing the right dock leveller for your loading bay is vital to ensure safe and efficient operations. Chase Equipment dock levellers are well made solutions for precisely compensating/bridging the height gap between the vehicle bed and the loading dock. The load can be moved in or out of the vehicle in a single continuous horizontal movement.

Dock Levellers

Our Dock Levellers are ideal for businesses dealing with a range of vehicle sizes. They provide a stable and secure connection between your loading bay and the vehicle, making it simple to handle large or varied deliveries. Hydraulically operated for ease of use, these levellers can accommodate significant height differences, making them a reliable choice for most warehouses and distribution centres.

Telescopic Lip Dock Levellers

For businesses needing more precision in loading, the Telescopic Lip Dock Leveller is an excellent choice. This leveller features an extendable lip of up to 1000mm, which can be positioned precisely on the vehicle bed. It’s perfect for situations where trucks stop at varying distances from the dock, or when dealing with unusual loads. The added flexibility reduces the risk of damage to goods and ensures smooth operations, even with difficult vehicle types.

Swing Lip Dock Levellers

Our Swing Lip Dock Levellers come with a variety of options to suit your specific requirements. You can choose a free-standing leveller frame housing, interlock facilities for docking lights, doors, vehicle restraint systems, and kerb angles with built in buffer mounting. For added protection, high impact absorbing buffers are available, along with the option for different lip plate lengths and brush seals along the sides and rear of the deck. With capacities ranging from 10 to 12 tonnes and beyond, these are built to handle demanding applications.

Edge of Dock Levellers

If space is limited or you’re looking for a cost-effective solution, our Edge of Dock Levellers may be the perfect fit. These are compact units that sit on the edge of the dock and are designed for light to medium use. While they don’t offer as much height adjustment as standard levellers, they’re ideal for smaller operations or where vehicles are consistently the same height. 

This option is a safe and economical alternative to loose bridging plates and inbuilt electro – Hydraulic units.

Which One Do We Need?

Selecting the right one depends on your operational requirements, including the types of vehicles you handle, the frequency of loading, and the space available at your site. Each type of leveller offers distinct advantages, so it’s important to choose the one that fits your needs.
