Loading Bay Systems: Frequently Asked Questions
What does a dock leveller do?
A dock leveller bridges the gap and the height difference between your loading dock and the trailer bed. Forklifts and pallet trucks can then drive on and off safely, whatever the size of the trailer.
Are your dock levellers made in Ireland?
Yes. Ellickson Engineering dock levellers are manufactured in our factory in Kilmurry, Waterford, and can be custom made to suit your site. We also supply solutions from our international partners where they are a better fit.
Why choose a hydraulic dock leveller?
Hydraulic operation lets one leveller handle different trailer sizes at different warehouse heights quickly and consistently, which keeps loading and unloading efficient and safe.
What makes up a complete loading bay system?
A typical loading bay combines a dock leveller, a loading bay door, a dock seal or shelter, dock lights and wheel alignment guides. Dock pods, bespoke loading ramps and safety systems such as Rite-Hite vehicle restraints can be added depending on the site.
How can I make my loading bay safer?
Wheel alignment guides position the trailer correctly, LED dock lights improve visibility inside the trailer, and Rite-Hite safety systems help prevent trailer creep and early departure. All equipment is designed to integrate with the loading bay door for correct operation.
Do you service and repair existing loading bays?
Yes. We offer service level agreements, emergency callouts for SLA customers, after-sales service, and upgrades or replacement of existing dock levellers across Ireland.
