Accident Prevention
Rol-Lift manufacturers a range of vehicle restraints
to reduce the hazards of unscheduled truck departure.
These restraints range from the simplest, most economical
model, the ML-10 Manulatch, to the top of the line
electro-hydraulic TL-85 Truck restraint. Contact your
local Rol-Lift Representative for more information.
Pour-In Vs. Pit Installation
A pour-in Dock Leveler eliminates the need for pit forming. However,
a pour-in has to be installed when the slab is poured, many months
before the Dock Leveler is actually required. This means the Dock
leveler is paid for before it is needed, and it is subject to potential
pre-use damage. A pit installed Dock Leveler is installed into a
previously constructed pit at the later stages of building construction.
The best features of both styles can be obtained by using Rol-Lift Pit
Kits during installation. A Pit Kit is a set of pre-fabricated steel
panels that are bolted together on site to yield a true square pit for
less money than wood forms. For more information request Rol-Lift
bulletin "Dock Leveler Pit Kit".
Future Requirements
If it is anticipated that dock use or load capacity will
increase or vary in the future, certain features may be
more economically viable to install initially:- Heavier capacity units
- Longer Dock Leveler
- Hydraulic versus Mechanical operation
