"Step Down" Hydraulic Dock Leveller with Telescopic Lip
Model CHVB-S Series
More and more customers require loading docks that allow vehicles to open their rear doors after they are parked at the loading dock. Typical applications are:
• Cold storage loading docks
Refrigerated vehicles are not allowed to open their rear doors before they are parked at the loading dock and before the loading operations starts. The cold chain may not be interrupted.
• Loading docks to seal vehicles
For security reasons many companies seal (with lead) their vehicles when goods are transported between two warehouses. Opening and closing the rear doors of the vehicle after they are parked at the loading dock is an important work-and-time saving alternative. With a standard loading dock design, the vehicle rear doors have to be unsealed before approaching the loading dock. After completion of the loading operation, the vehicle has to move forward a few meters before the rear doors can be closed and sealed again. This procedure is affected by weather conditions and therefore more likely to be „forgotten“ from time to time by truck drivers and dock personnel.
Loading docks with a “Step Down” design allow a comfortable, easy and time saving “sealing” procedure while the vehicle is parked at the loading dock. The "Step Down" design is available on our models CHVB-S 9000, CHVB-S 9100 (with parallel guided platform) and CHVB-S 9500.
