Mechanical Dock Leveler

Product Description

Introduction of Mechanical DockLeveler
With their extension-spring counter-balance systems, mechanical docklevelers minimize the need for manual lifting for easy operation, making them ideal for a variety of loading dock application. They offer a proven design and cost-effective features for maximum efficiency and performance.
Sucus Mechanical Docklevelers feature a consistent, reliable lip crown from the rear hinge to the front hinge. Sucus docklevelers also provide the smoothest transitions between dockleveler and trailer to help prevent injuries and minimize fork truck and product damage-reagardless of height differential between leveler and trailer.

Components and construction
The Mechanical Dock Leveler is built up of the following components:
1. Platform Assembly:
Platform to be constructed of unitized, robotically welded high tensile steel safety tread deck plate. Exclusive "I" beam deck supports optimize twist resistance and stress distribution. Deck to be on 8-15Tons static capacities; On 5-10Tons dynamic capacities.
1. Lip Assembly:
Lip to be 5/8"(16mm) thick, 153/4" (400mm)length. Self-cleaning lug-style lip hinge. All units to be 16" high tensile steel safety tread lip plate with chamfered leading edge. Lip rod to be a minimum of 1" solid steel on all capacities.
2. Lip Extension:
Lip assist mechanism provides gentle lip activation and reduced walk-down loads.
3. Counterbalance:
Oil-tempered chromium silicon steel extension spring counterbalance with single adjustment point for high strength, durability, and easy walk-down.
4. Open Subframe structure:
All Sucus docklevelers are built with an open frame design to provide easy access to the pit floor for routine cleaning and scheduled maintenance.
5. Safety Legs:
Automatic 60, 000 lbs. (28tons)structural dock level support legs. Drop tested to the full rated capacity of the dock leveler.
6. Toe Guard Protection:
Full operating range toe guards with two galvanized sliding guards (yellow OSHA required markings) provided on the sides of the dock leveler.
7. Integral Support Strut & Lip Lock:
A permanently mounted support strut and lip lock are provided to support the lip and leveler during routine maintenance and pit cleaning.
8. Below-dock Control (Endloading):
Sucus's airdefense system allows for lowering of leveler without extending lip.
9. Out of Level Compensation:
Leveler platform is designed to compensate for canted truck beds and eliminate pinch points.
10. Float Compensation:
Allows for vertical carrier deflection when lip is in contact with truck bed.
11. Bumpers:

Unit to include two heavy-duty dock bumpers model B300-250F, 10" x 12"(250mm x 300mm).
Materials
The deck is made of anti-slip checker plate and reinforced on the underside using steel profiles. The lip, which is also made of anti-slip checker plate, is connected to the deck across its full width by a pivot arrangement
Finish
As standard, all fabricated steel components are blasted, primered and then painted in RAL 5010(blue).
Safety Features
1 the deck is self-aligning (allowing torsion) and compensates for height differences across the width of the vehicle floor
2 toe-guards
3 recessed yellow/black safety markings on moving parts
4 maintenance strut with safety catch
Control System
A printed circuit board in the control box controls all functions. As a standard, this control box with control buttons is mounted at 1500 mm above floor level next to the clear opening. The control system includes an interlock safety(option); The leveler will only function if the interlocked industrial door is in a safe position.
