Powered Dock

Gandhi Automations offers dock sevelers which is a perfect balance of power and performance.

An electro-hydraulic dock-leveler is not simply -'a bridge for connecting a vehicle'. Frequently, the important characteristic that this tool needs is undervalued to guarantee an efficient working environment to comply with the safety in work regulations. Since the invention of the hydraulic dock-leveler, very poor design improvement has been implemented by manufacturers of the traditional types, and the result is old concept products with poor characteristics in respect of safety in work and installation.

In 1983, a completely different concept was applied to satisfy different customer needs, with new advantages and often-cheaper costs. The most advanced concept of the Campisa Dock-Leveler is to have the whole drive unit contained in a wall box, installed on a wall inside the warehouse, at eye level. This enables easy and economical maintenance, without the necessity to maneuver under the platform or inside the pit, where traditional power packs and controls are usually installed.

A wide study of previously installed power units motivated us to design the Multiple Consolle. Depending on the type of installation, it can hydraulically power several dock-levelers with only one Consolle (drive unit). Each dock-leveler is controlled separately by its own control pad and can work simultaneously. With these solutions they are dramatically economised by optimising the function of the single parts so that any repair intervention can be practically eliminated. Further, dramatic economies are obtained by reducing the electric mains supply points to one per Consolle instead of one per dock-leveler. The reduction is about 65 per cent in dock-leveler installations and about 75 per cent in dock-leveler and powered sectional door installations.

This reduction normally results in important economies when installing the main distribution box. Consequently, by reducing the number of motors there is a dramatic saving on electricity costs as the global mains power engagement is radically reduced.
