Dock-Rite Pit Frames are precision-engineered steel housings designed to support and secure Dock-Rite Airbag Docklevellers in both local and export installations. Each frame ensures structural accuracy, simplified installation, and long-term reliability — whether mounted in a recessed pit or integrated into a prefabricated dock system.
The Airbag Dockleveller is the dockleveller of choice across Southern Africa for its clean operation, reliability, and low maintenance requirements. Using a low-pressure, high-volume air source from its built-in blower motor, the system eliminates hydraulic oil, making it ideal for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical facilities where contamination control is critical.
Dock-Rite manufactures a full range of standard, export, and under-slung (cavity) pit frames to meet diverse site and design requirements. Frames can be supplied in raw steel or galvanised finish and are compatible with airbag, hydraulic, and telescopic docklevellers.
Available Pit Frame Configurations
Standard Pit Frames:
• Airbag 2825 mm (L) x 2150 mm (W)
• Airbag 2825 mm (L) x 1850 mm (W)
• Airbag 3420 mm (L) x 1850 mm (W)
• Airbag 3420 mm (L) x 2150 mm (W)
Export Pit Frames:
Designed for international container shipping and modular dock assembly. Fully pre-fabricated and reinforced for ease of export, on-site placement, and mechanical leveller installation.
Under-Slung / Cavity Pit Frames:
Engineered for suspended or recessed mounting below the dock floor, allowing clean lines, easy access, and full structural support without permanent concrete pits. Ideal for pre-cast dock pods and modular retrofits.
Custom configurations available on request.
