Loading Dock Levelers

Cronax Loading Dock Levelers are engineered to create a safe, efficient, and seamless bridge between warehouse floors and truck beds, ensuring smooth loading and unloading operations. Designed to handle heavy loads and frequent usage, they enhance workflow efficiency while minimizing downtime and safety risks. Built with high-strength steel construction, Cronax Dock Levelers deliver exceptional load-bearing capacity and long-lasting durability.

Available in hydraulic, mechanical, and air-powered models, these levelers automatically adjust to different truck heights, ensuring a perfect dock-to-truck connection. Advanced safety features such as lip extension, anti-slip platforms, and fall prevention mechanisms provide maximum protection for workers and goods. By maintaining a tight seal between dock and vehicle, Cronax Dock Levelers help reduce air leakage, energy loss, and contamination risks—making them an ideal choice for temperature-controlled facilities and high-traffic warehouses.

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

Leveler Type	Motorised loading dock leveler designed to bridge height differences between dock floor and vehicle bed; available in pit-mounted pit or edge-of-dock configurations.
Primary Application	Warehouses, distribution centers, logistics hubs, retail distribution docks, food storage facilities, and industrial loading bays.
Maximum Clear Opening	Widths up to 2,000 mm (≈6′6″) and lengths up to 3 000 mm (≈10′); wider/larger custom variants available for high-capacity operations.
Operating Range	Standard rise/fall range ±75 mm (~3″) for edge-of-dock models; recessed pit levelers typically offer ±300 mm (~12″) range for larger grade adjustments.
Deck & Lip Construction	High-tensile steel tread plate deck with welded channel supports; lip lengths nominally 400 mm (≈16″) extending into trailer for safe transfer.
Capacity	Designed for heavy-duty loading—typically rated at GVW × 2.5 to ×4, depending on usage frequency and equipment (e.g. 45,000 lb capacity for a 12,000 lb forklift plus load).
Activation Mechanism	Available in Mechanical (spring-balanced), Air-Powered (pneumatic bellows), Hydraulic (push-button), or Truck-Actuated (automatic via truck contact) systems.
Safety Features	Includes full-range toe guards, velocity fuses/flow controls in hydraulics to prevent fall-off, and emergency stop interlocks.
Compliance & Standards	Engineered to meet ANSI MH30.1, EN 1398, and relevant national building codes, ensuring lift range, safety, and structural integrity.

Drive System	Choice of spring-counterbalanced mechanical drive, pneumatic actuator, or electro-hydraulic power unit depending on model and site needs.
Control Panel	Mounted control box with Push-Button operation (Up/Down); optional E-Stop and interlocking to overhead doors or restraints.
Activation Options	Manual (chain/push), Truck-Actuated bumpers, or Push-Button systems with integration into dock automation systems.
Safety Systems	Includes auto-retract on vehicle departure, velocity fuses to prevent deck fall, toe-guards, and optional photo-cell sensors.
Positioning	Equipped with electro-mechanical or hydraulic limit stops for precise lip and deck placement.
Emergency Function	Manual override via walk-down or hand chain in mechanical models; hydraulic models include fail-safe lowering if power fails.
Integration	Compatible with BMS, dock lights, vehicle restraints, overhead doors, and logistic control systems for streamlined operations.

Finish	Standard hot-dip galvanized or powder-coated steel for durability; stainless steel options for wash-down or corrosive environments.
Lip Options	Standard 400 mm lip, with 450–500 mm extended options; taper-lip configurations for side loading.
Sealing & Insulation	Optional perimeter weather seals to reduce energy loss and prevent condensation in temperature-controlled docks.
Bumpers & Protection	Integrated dock bumpers (rubber or molded) to prevent truck contact with building structure.
Customization	Tailorable width, length, platform texture (tread plate), and color finish to suit client operations and branding.
Accessories	Available options include night locks (lip keepers), interlock sensors, LED lighting frames, and dock seals or shelters.
