Bascule bridge type KBS
These bascule bridges made of robust, corrosion-resistant aluminium are used to compensate small to medium height differences and can be operated by just one person. When the platform folds down an anti-fall safeguard is released by foot which then automatically re-engages as soon as the platform folds back up. The platforms can also be shifted sideways in the guide profile.
Platform dock leveller type SKB
Platform dock levellers bridge medium variations in height up to approx. 200 mm. The carriage on ball bearings makes them easy to shift in the steel guide rail. The dock leveller is equipped with a foot-operated anti-fall safeguard to prevent it being overturned. Assisted by a spring support, platforms from 1065 mm can also be folded up and down by one person on their own.
Platform dock leveller type FB
As regards height differences and loads this mechanically sprung platform dock leveller covers a broad spectrum. It is available in painted steel, galvanized steel or in aluminium, with stationary platform or sideways shifting platform. Thanks to the broad steel guide profile, open towards the bottom and with self-cleaning effect, the dock levellers continue to operate smoothly and reliably many years down the line. And the maintenance-free spring system means that one-man operation is not a problem even where larger platforms are involved. A self-engaging anti-fall safeguard always parks the dock levellers securely, so there's no danger of them being knocked over.
