Dock Leveler - A must have for your loading bay!

Dock levelers are a necessity for loading bay in manufacturing plants & warehouses. A dock leveler is a mechanical platform which forms a bridge between the vehicle & the dock. It facilitates smooth loading & unloading operation in warehouses by ensuring that the vehicle height reaches the height of the platform. Efficiency of a warehouse largely depends on how efficiently these activities are performed. Using a dock leveler reduces manual operations & operation time hence increasing efficiency. A dock leveler can be mechanical, air or hydraulically powered and comes in many varieties to suit different uses. It is a completely customizable product.
