Loading Technology Increases Efficiency and Speed
Dock levelers, shelters and seals for your specific budget and application
For comprehensive loading dock solutions, look no further than Hörmann. From hydraulic dock levelers to mechanical edge-of-dock levelers, we have a model that will fit your specific loading requirements to ensure there is a smooth, seamless transition bridging the gap between trucks and docks.
In addition to bridging the gap at dock level, for the highest level of safety, it is crucial to seal around the door jambs / header to prevent rain, snow, and ice from entering the building and creating a wet, unsafe condition at the door opening. For around the door opening, we offer a variety of dock shelters and dock seals to accommodate any door dimensions, so you are sure to find the most effective seal for around the application.
To complete a loading dock package that covers all aspects of protection around the dock, we recommend including related safety accessories such as: dock bumpers (laminated are included with the levelers), electrical vehicle restraint, stop & go communication system, LED loading dock lights, wheel chocks, and pit kits.
Trust Hörmann to help you choose the correct loading equipment for an efficient, safe, and well-rounded solution for your dock environment.
Dock Levelers
Hydraulic and Mechanical Solutions
Hörmann offers hydraulic pit levelers and mechanical edge-of-dock levelers. Hydraulic dock levelers automatically raise and lower to accommodate the gap between the loading dock and the truck. Since they have automatic operation, these models are recommended for applications that have regular daily use and heavy load requirements. Because they’re manually operated, mechanical edge-of-dock levelers are well-suited when use will be a few times a day and / or the weight of the passing loads is moderate. In addition, edge-of-dock levelers are recommended for environments where the dock height and truck bed height difference is minimal or if pit construction is prohibitive. Overall, dock levelers are a smart investment that allows for easy movement of material handling equipment and reduces the risk of accidents or damage to goods.
