Air Cylinder Series - Dock Leveler and Restraint
Dock Leveler: 30,000 to 45,000 lb (13,636 to 20,455 kg) rated capacities
Vehicle Restraint: 35,000 lb (15,909 kg) restraining strength

Developing newer, safer technology and applying it to the loading dock is what Blue Giant
does best. Blue Giant’s Air Cylinder Series (ACS) combines the popular and revolutionary
U-Series Air Cylinder Dock Leveler with a new offering: the StrongArm™ SVR303A, an air cylinder version of the award-winning SVR303 hydraulic vehicle restraint. Secure and sustainable, the ACS is the industry’s first air-powered dock equipment combo.

      

Air Cylinder Dock Leveler

• On-Demand Air System
  The ACS is powered by an on-demand air system, making it an eco-friendly alternative to a hydraulic combination. The benefits of using air-actuated dock equipment include decreased operating costs, reduced downtime (where there’s air, there’s power!) and environmental sustainability, which results in a positive company image and eligibility for LEED benefits.

• Designed with Safety in Mind
  The air cylinder lifting technology of the ACS eliminates safety concerns commonly associated with air-powered dock levelers: punctured airbags and inability to hesitate dock travel during an emergency. The deck, fortified by a minimum of six sturdy U-beams, flexes under load to ensure a smooth cross-docking transition, lowering the risk of employee injury and damage to cargo or forklift tires. A fluid-based velocity fuse limits platform free-fall to within 4” (101mm).

• Intelligent Touch Controls
  The Blue Genius™ Gold Series III Touch Control Panel’s features include an LCD menu screen, function buttons and a flat-surface keypad with unique touch sensors. Interior and exterior LED lights keep drivers and warehouse personnel advised of safety conditions. A built-in network communication system enables multiple units of dock equipment to be operated in safe and proper sequence.

Vehicle Restraint - StrongArm™ SVR303A Air Cylinder

• Built Strong. Holds Strong.
  The ACS prevents unscheduled truck departures and trailer creep via the StrongArm™ SVR303A vehicle restraint technology. Low-profile, nonimpact, and with a restraining force of 35,000 lbs (15,909 kgs), the SVR303A has a vertical engaging range of 8” to 26” (203 to 660mm), allowing it to safely secure all types of ICC bar. Its Intelligent Positioning System (IPS) detects a truck’s ICC bar without using breakable mechanical switches, adding another layer of safety to loading dock operations.
