Product Description
The electric dual cylinder hydraulic dock leveler is designed for heavy-duty warehousing operations where truck heights vary. It automatically adjusts the height difference between the platform and the truck carriage, creating a smooth transition slope. This allows forklifts to drive directly into the truck, significantly increasing loading and unloading efficiency.
The mechanism features a simple one-button operation: the platform rises to its peak, the tongue plate extends, and it settles onto the truck bed. Safety is prioritized with pressure sensors that trigger an emergency stop valve if a truck moves unexpectedly, and integrated toe protectors to prevent injury. All units are manufactured to European EN1398 standards.

Core Technical Advantages
Dual Cylinder Design
The patented dual cylinder system (left and right) provides superior stability and balance. Unlike single cylinder models, it prevents rollover if an emergency occurs while a forklift is on the platform. The inverted cylinder design also protects the system from debris damage.
Robust "C" Section Steel
The base is reinforced with 10 C-section steel beams. This specialized layout ensures that stress is evenly distributed across the dock plate, minimizing surface deformation even under maximum load.
Intelligent Servo Function
The platform features a unique servo capability that interacts with the vehicle floor. It compensates for the height changes (70-100mm) that occur as the truck transitions between empty and full loads.
Emergency Braking System
In the event of accidental vehicle departure, the built-in brake valve locks the leveler within 2cm of descent. This protects the operator, the cargo, and the forklift without needing manual locking brackets.
Arc Transition Design
The "duck beak" shaped tongue plate (5-7° arc) ensures a stable and continuous transition for forklifts. This prevents bumping and landing shocks, protecting tires and fragile goods during transfer.

Packaging & Shipping
Packing: Units are stacked for efficient transport, with corrugated paper protecting the main plates and corners from scratches during transit.
Shipping: We support EXW, FOB, C&F, CIF, and DDP terms. Standard lead time is generally 2-4 weeks after order confirmation, depending on seasonal demand and quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum load capacity of this dock leveler?
The system supports a dynamic load of 8 tons and a static load of up to 16 tons, which exceeds the European EN1398 standard requirements.
How does the emergency stop system work?
The hydraulic cylinder includes a built-in brake valve that automatically activates if the truck moves away suddenly. It locks the platform within 2cm of movement to ensure safety.
Can the dock leveler operate in extreme cold environments?
Yes, it uses aviation-grade hydraulic oil and components that are rated for operation in temperatures as low as -40ºC.
Are the sizes and colors customizable?
Yes, while standard sizes like 2000x2000mm are available, we can customize dimensions and RAL colors to fit your specific loading bay requirements.
What kind of maintenance is required for the hinges?
The unit utilizes an enclosed tubular hinge design which increases the contact area and distributes force more evenly, making it highly durable and requiring minimal maintenance.
Is the control box weatherproof?
The wall-mounted control box is IP56 rated and includes an interlock function that can be synchronized with sectional industrial doors for added security.
