Recognised as India's Number 1 Entrance Automation and Loading Bay Equipment Company, Gandhi Automations is also proud to be certified ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018. Since its inception in 1996, the company have been manufacturing, importing, distributing and installing products that are problem free and easy to operate. The company offers complete logistics solutions by providing dock levelers, dock shelters, sectional overhead doors and dock houses.

Electro-hydraulic dock levelers offered by the company are not only a bridge for connecting a vehicle, but also facilitate fast, smooth and safe transition by compensating the difference in heights between the loading bay and the vehicle. This minimises energy use and saves heating and chilling costs resulting in quality-maintenance of the transported goods.

Efficient goods loading and unloading:

Efficient goods’ loading has always been important and is in high demand for two reasons: less availability and high cost of manpower. Subpar manpower can lead to damaging of the goods.

The cost of loading and unloading the goods can be calculated precisely and is exactly definable, which allows for a scientific approach to calculate the investment required. The company has always designed solutions based on such an approach and feedback from clients. The dock levelers offered by the company ensure effortless loading and unloading with minimal cost.

It is possible to safely load and unload products and in the process, obtain remarkable energy savings. The dock leveler remains with the loading bay at rest and the sectional overhead door remains closed until the vehicle is positioned. The driver centers with the dock shelter and stops the vehicle the moment it contacts the bumpers.

The sectional overhead door is then opened only then, brakes are applied and the engine is shut off. This eliminates the exit of hot air, intake of cold air and of exhaust gases in the warehouse. After this, the lip of the dock leveler connects to the truck bed for loading and unloading to take place. Once done, the dock leveler is put in rest position and the sectional overhead door is closed without moving the vehicle. The vehicle then departs at the end of the process.
