A dock leveller is a piece of equipment used to bridge the gap between a loading dock and a truck or trailer. It is designed to facilitate the safe and efficient loading and unloading of goods.

Dock levellers are typically installed in a recessed pit at the loading dock. They consist of a platform that can be raised or lowered to meet the height of the truck bed. The platform is typically hydraulically operated, and can be adjusted to compensate for differences in height between the loading dock and the truck.

Dock levellers come in a range of sizes and weight capacities to accommodate different types of trucks and loads. They can also be equipped with various safety features, such as non-slip surfaces and safety rails, to prevent accidents and injuries.

In addition to dock levellers, loading docks may also be equipped with other equipment such as dock seals or shelters, which provide a tight seal between the dock and the truck to prevent the entry of weather or pests, and dock bumpers, which help to absorb the impact of trucks backing into the dock.

Dock levellers are an essential piece of equipment for loading docks, providing a safe and efficient way to transfer goods between trucks and the dock. Proper maintenance and regular inspections are necessary to ensure that dock levellers operate safely and reliably.
