Application

The Leda LDL20 Dock Leveller is the standard solution in general industry applications and easy to operate.
The Leda LDL20 Dock Leveller system meets the standard demandsof most loading operations and fully complies with rules and regulations of the European Standard EN 1398.

Mode of Operation

The swing lip safely bridges the gap between the ramp and the truckbed.
When the dock leveller is raised, the lip swings out and the leveller lowers gently onto the truck bed.
After loading or unloading, the leveller is raised again, the lip swings down and the platform returns to its parking position, i.e. to ramp level.

Platform

Platform tear-plate thickness
The 6 mm (6/8) tear-plate is designed for loading and unloading with typical 4 wheel pneumatic-tired fork-lift trucks.
Alternatively an 8 mm (8/10) tear-plate is available for handling equipment with high point loads, such as electric pallet trucks.
However, potential platform deformations do
not reduce the functionality of the leveller.

Toe guards
The leveller is as standard equipped with toe guards; steel plates between the platform and the frame.
The toe guard prevents the pinching of feet when the leveller is lowered.

EPDM seal
To seal the gap between leveller and pit, an EPDM seal can be factory-installed between the flexible platform and frame.
By reducing draughts into the building, working conditions improve and energy savings increase.

Slip protection / noise reduction
Applying a polyurethane slip protection coating on the lip and platform ensures a durable non-slip and noise reduction surface.
The effect is a smooth and comfortable surface for handling equipment that is less receptive to wear and tear.
The PU coating material is resistant to impact, to thermal impact and most types of chemicals and it has a high loading capacity.

Platform insulation
When the dock leveller is positioned in a bay directly outside the door opening, it can be beneficial to insulate the dock leveller.
The insulation counteracts the penetration of incoming heat/cold from outside.
To achieve the best results, the dock leveller should also be fitted with an EPDM seal.
The insulation consists of factory-installed insulated panels with a thickness of 40 mm.

Control Unit



Functions



Safety

Emergency Stop Function.
Safety valves block lowering movement after max. 6% of the nominal length of the leveller.
Two lift cylinders make sure the leveller stops in a horizontal position.
Free floating position.
Platform torsion. Lateral deflection of at least 3% of nominal width.
Toe guards cover gap between platform and pit in leveller's highest position.
Working range gradient max. 12,5% (~7deg).
Warning stripes on side plates and on frame (black/yellow).

Load Capacity

The load capacity of a dock leveller must always be higher than the rated load.

Example
Weight of forklift truck: 3600 kg
Weight of goods: 1500 kg
Weight of driver: 100 kg
Total weight/rated load: 5200 kg
Suitable load capacity of the leveller: 6000 kg/60kN

Plate Thickness


The 6 tonnes (60kN)LDL20 Dock Levelleris as a standard equipped with a tear plate of 6 mm (6/8).
Optionally an 8 mm (8/10) tearplate is available.
Each handling-equipment traffic situation creates a certain point load impact on the dock leveller platform depending on the contact area of the wheels.
The typical 4 wheel pneumatic-tired forklift trucks have a lower point load impact than electric pallet trucks with small hard wheels.

Example


Leveller Length

When determining the leveller length, measure the maximum height difference between the truck bed and the dock level.
Next, determine which vehicles will be used and lookup the maximum gradient the vehicles are allowed to be used on.

Vehicle Max gradient
Roll cage: 3%
Hand pallet truck: 3%
Electric pallet truck: 7%
Forklift truck: (battery) 10%
Forklift truck: (gas / petrol) 15%

Calculation
Minimal leveller length = height difference / gradient (%)

Nominal Width

The LDL20 Dock Leveller is available with a nominal widthof 1750 mm, 2000 mm or 2200 mm.
The correct nominal width must exceed the widest loading vehicle by at least 700mm.
