Combination Dockleveller Scissor Lift

The Combination Dockleveller Scissor Lift integrates a conventional dockleveller lip plate with a scissor lift base unit, providing both vertical height adjustment and bridging capability at loading bays. This combination is particularly suited to facilities where vehicle bed heights vary significantly, or where standard dockleveller travel range is insufficient.

The scissor mechanism raises or lowers the entire dockleveller platform to align with the vehicle bed, while the hinged lip bridges the remaining gap. This eliminates the need for multiple dock height configurations and reduces manual handling risk during loading and unloading.

Custom fabricated to bay opening dimensions, load capacity and operating height range.
