Cantilever Dock Leveler in Zimbabwe

A Cantilever Dock Leveler is a platform that bridges the gap between a truck and the dock using a cantilever support. It offers strong, stable lifting without needing a pit underneath. Ideal for places with uneven ground or limited space.

Cantilever Dock Leveler

Cantilever Dock Leveler Specification :

A Cantilever Dock Leveler is designed to provide smooth access between the dock and trucks, especially on uneven surfaces. It is ideal for sites without pits or where ground conditions vary.

  • Built with high-tensile steel for durability and anti-slip protection
  • Ideal for locations with non-standard or changing dock heights
  • Can be installed on the surface without needing concrete pits

These levelers are perfect for flexible loading operations with minimal civil work, offering long-term reliability and safe performance.

Installation and Maintenance :

Installation:
  • Quick & Easy Setup : No pit or major civil work needed – ideal for surface-level installation
  • Flexible Fit : Adapts easily to varying dock heights and truck sizes
