Dock Leveler : Perfect balance of power and performance!

An electro-hydraulic Dock-Leveler is not simply “a bridge for connecting a vehicle”. Frequently the important characteristic that this tool needs is undervalued, in order to guarantee an efficient working environment to comply with the safety in work regulations. Since the invention of the hydraulic Dock-Leveler, very poor design improvement has been implemented by manufacturers of the traditional types, and the result is old concept products with poor characteristics in respect of safety in work and installation.

In 1983 a completely different concept was applied to satisfy different customer needs, offering new advantages and often-cheaper costs. The most advanced concept of the CAMPISA Dock-Leveler is to have the whole drive unit contained in a wall box, which is installed on a wall inside the warehouse, at eye level, which allows for easy and economical maintenance, without the necessity to maneuver under the platform or inside the pit, were traditional power packs and controls are usually installed: an undoubtedly dangerous, dirty and uncomfortable operation.

A wide study of previously installed power units motivated us to design the MULTIPLE CONSOLLE. Depending on the type of installation it can hydraulically power several Dock-Levelers with only one CONSOLLE (drive unit), each Dock-Leveler controlled separately by its own control pad. They can also work simultaneously. With these solutions we have dramatically economized by optimizing the function of the single parts so successfully that

We have practically eliminated, for several years, any repair intervention. Further dramatic economies are obtained by reducing the electric mains supply points to one per CONSOLLE instead of one per Dock-Leveler. The reduction is about 65% in Dock-Leveler installations and about 75% in Dock-Leveler and powered sectional door installations. This reduction normally results in important economies when installing the mains distribution box. Consequently by reducing the number of motors there is a dramatic saving on electricity costs, as the global mains power engagement is radically reduced.
