The widespread use of loading dock levelers has sped up loading and unloading and increased safety for facilities of all sizes and across all sectors. A loading dock leveler is essentially a bridge that makes a level surface between trucks and the facility. This reduces the chance of injuring those goods throughout the process of bringing products or materials into or out of a facility. There are many various types of dock levelers available, so picking the right one for your business requires some thought. Decision-making process with new sorts of truck designs, a plethora of different goods and products, and attention to both safety and speed of transport.

Hydraulic Dock Levelers

Hydraulic dock levelers are motorized and can be triggered, positioned, and stored using a push-button control system; loading dock employees do not need to manually operate them. In general, hydraulic dock levelers can be placed up to 12 inches above or below the loading dock.

As a loading dock option, hydraulic dock levelers have various advantages. They have a long lifespan and are simple to operate. A hydraulic dock leveler ensures that trucks enter and exit loading docks swiftly and is highly effective for docks with significant traffic. Additionally, because there is no physical labour required to operate the leveler, repetitive usage injuries for loading dock employees are eliminated by hydraulic dock levelers.

Hydraulic dock levelers are a good option for facilities where truck sizes fluctuate due to the sorts of items being received into and/or delivered out of the facility because of their positional range, which allows them to be rapidly and readily used with many different sizes of vehicles.

Since only a few independent moving parts are utilized each time the leveler is used, maintenance expenses for hydraulic dock levelers are typically cheap over time.

What to think about while selecting a dock leveler

In order to guarantee an even distance between vehicles and the loading dock, both levelers provide the essential answer. If a mechanical dock leveler or a hydraulic dock leveler is the best option, it will depend on the facility's requirements.

Therefore, a number of variables that change from facility to facility dictate whether to use a mechanical dock leveler or a hydraulic dock leveler.

How many active loading docks the facility has is one aspect. A hydraulic dock leveler is the ideal option for facilities with four or more active loading docks, while a mechanical dock leveler may be the best option for a facility with one or two active loading docks.

 

 The volume of shipping and receiving operations at the facility is a further consideration to take into account. A motorized dock leveler might be an excellent choice for operations that receive and transport goods once or twice each day. However, institutions with moderate to high loading dock activity would benefit most from a hydraulic dock leveler.

The sizes of the trucks being loaded and unloaded are a third aspect to consider. Both below-dock and above-dock truck beds can be readily changed with hydraulic dock levelers. Budgetary considerations are, of course, the most important aspect.
