Standard hydraulic dock leveler specifications at Naltako

Hydraulic dock levelers play an indispensable role in loading and unloading operations at warehouses and factories. To choose the right product, understanding hydraulic dock leveler specifications and standards is extremely important. Let’s find out in detail in the article below.

What are hydraulic dock leveler specifications?

Hydraulic dock leveler specifications are a set of important technical indicators that determine the operational capability and efficiency of the equipment. These specifications include:

• Dimensions: Width, length, thickness, and lifting height of the hydraulic dock leveler.
• Load capacity: Static load (when not in operation) and dynamic load (when forklifts move over it).
• Tilt angle: The maximum angle the hydraulic dock leveler can tilt to connect with the truck bed.
• Manufacturing materials: The type of material used to make the hydraulic dock leveler (stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum).
• Operating system: Mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic.
• Safety standards: The standards the hydraulic dock leveler meets (EN 1398, ANSI MH30.2).

Understanding these specifications will help you choose the right hydraulic dock leveler for your needs, ensuring safety and efficiency during the transportation of goods.

Note: Each manufacturer will have different hydraulic dock leveler specifications depending on usage needs and customer requirements.

Load capacity and dimensions

Load capacity	Overall dimensions (mm)	Pit dimensions (mm)
6-ton dock	2000 x 1800 x 500	2100 x 1900 x 600
	2000 x 1500 x 500	2100 x 1600 x 600
8-ton dock	2500 x 1800 x 500	2600 x 1900 x 600
	2000 x 1800 x 500	2100 x 1900 x 600
10-ton dock	3000 x 2000 x (500-600)	3100 x 2100 x 700
	2500 x 2000 x (500-600)	2600 x 2100 x 700
	2000 x 2000 x (500-600)	2100 x 2100 x 700

The load capacity of a hydraulic dock leveler is the maximum weight the leveler can withstand during operation. When choosing a hydraulic dock leveler, you need to clearly define the required load capacity to ensure safe and efficient operation. If the load exceeds the allowable limit, the leveler can be damaged, causing danger to people and property.

Hydraulic dock leveler dimensions are the overall dimensions expressed as Length x Width x Height (mm). For example, dimensions of 2000mm x 1800mm x 500mm mean the leveler has a length of 2000mm, a width of 1800mm, and a height of 500mm.

Pit dimensions are the dimensions of the pit pre-dug to install the hydraulic dock leveler. The dock pit usually has a rectangular shape and is designed to fit the dimensions of the leveler perfectly.

⚠️ Note: The load capacity and dimension specifications above are for reference only and can be changed depending on specific customer requirements.

Tilt angle – extension

The tilt angle and extension are two important parameters of a hydraulic dock leveler, directly affecting the safe and effective connection capability between the warehouse floor and the truck bed.

Tilt angle:

The tilt angle of Naltako dock levelers ranges from 5 degrees to 15 degrees. The larger the tilt angle, the higher the adaptability to various types of trucks.

Extension:

The extension of Naltako hydraulic dock levelers ranges from 300mm to 500mm.

The larger the extension, the better the connection capability with trucks of different box sizes.

⚠️ Note: The parameters for tilt angle and extension can vary depending on each model and specific customer requirements.
