Gandhi Automations Pvt.Ltd., one of India’s leading players in entrance automation and loading bay offers complete logistics solutions by providing dock levelers, dock shelters, sectional overhead doors and dock houses.

Electro-hydraulic dock levelers offered by Gandhi Automations are not only ‘a bridge for connecting a vehicle’, but also facilitates fast, smooth and safe transition by compensating the difference in heights between the loading bay and the vehicle. This contributes to minimising the energy used and implements costs savings on heating and chilling; resulting in maintaining the quality of the transported goods. Dock levelers offered by Gandhi Automations are designed as per EN 1398 standard for the most demanding loading and unloading operations.

Efficient loading & unloading of the goods
The importance of efficient loading of the goods has always been evident and has increased over the years, essentially for two reasons: the lesser availability and the higher cost of manpower. Consequently, however, lesser qualified manpower is being utilised which leads to damage in the goods.

The cost of loading and unloading of the goods can be calculated precisely and is exactly definable which allows for a scientific approach to find out the investment that goes into the process. Gandhi Automations has always designed solutions based on such scientific approach and feedback from clients. The dock levelers offered by the company ensure loading and unloading with lesser effort and minimal cost.

Following are the two types of dock levellers:
Radius lip dock levelers
Radius lip dock levelers allow the dock to connect with the truck bed; thus, making it possible to drive directly on and off with forklift trucks etc. The self-cleaning lip hinging system does not retain rubbish with automatic end-of-run, so as to keep the 25 mm security distance between the folded lip and structure as per EN 1398 & EN 349.

Telescopic lip dock levelers
Telescopic lip dock levelers are ideal for connecting vehicles which are unable to drive to the near dock; for example, sea containers, side loading railway wagons etc. These types can be supplied with a lip extending up to 1m.

Gandhi Automation’s Dock Levelers are equipped with the most secure safety devices and accessories.
