3.3 Intended use
The dock leveller is designed for the loading and unloading of trucks with the aid of
vehicles such as forklifts or electric pallet trucks. The dock leveller may only be
used for the purposes for which it is designed.
The dock leveller may never be operated above its rated load and permitted
gradient of 12,5%.

unloaded. When truck is written all common means of road transport equipment
such as trucks, (semi-)trailers, swap bodies and containers are intended.

of the truck.

• An integrated control of the dock door
• An integrated control of an inflatable shelter.
• An Auto Return button.
