Fully Hydraulic Mini Dock Levellers are for smaller trucks and trays and have a 7000kg weight limit. Also called Edge of Dock Levellers, they are normally used where it is for a specific fleet and the variation of bed heights is small. They have short platforms therefore gradient is very sensitive to vertical displacement.
Two variations of control are available.
H1: - single push button controls---The platform is raised to its full extension before the lip automatically extends. The platform then lowers onto the truck bed with the lip extended.
H2: - two push button controls---The platform is raised to a height where the lip can be extended at any point, rather than at the full extension of the platform saving valuable time. The platform can also be held at any point. The 2 push button controls give the operator full control over the platform and lip. Two variations are available. Pit mounted or face mounted.
Pit Mounted.These types of mini docks are fitted into a concrete recess that is usually created in the external front edge of the warehouse floor. The dock leveller then becomes apart of the warehouse floor.
Face Mounted.These types of mini docks are mounted to the external face of a warehouse or dock area.
