Overview
The Dock-Rite Extending / Telescopic Lip Dockleveller is purpose-built for operations where vehicle heights are inconsistent or where containers are frequently positioned forward of the trailer rear. The telescopic lip extends variably, giving the operator far greater control over the bridge between dock and vehicle.
A semi-automatic variant is also available — the deck floats automatically with truck movement, and if the truck pulls away unexpectedly, the dockleveller auto-retracts its lip and parks itself.
✓ Variable lip extension — eliminates pallet and product damage
✓ Semi-automatic: deck floats with truck, auto-retracts on departure
✓ Ideal for mixed-height vehicle fleets
✓ Suitable for containers positioned forward of trailer rear
✓ 3-phase power preferred (single phase available)
✓ Locally supplied hydraulics — parts readily available
✓ 9 deck ribs, 16mm lip, below-horizontal safety legs
✓ Lip damage virtually unheard of in normal operation
Typical Applications
- Mixed-height vehicle fleets
- Container and intermodal operations
- Logistics hubs handling diverse trailer types
- High-value goods requiring zero pallet damage
- Sites with forward-loaded containers
- Operations requiring highest forklift safety standards
- High-throughput distribution centres
- Cold chain with container refrigeration units
⚠ Note: This model requires a 600mm pit depth — deeper than the 500mm for swing lip models. Confirm pit dimensions with your civil contractor before ordering.
