Safe TFrame: Stronger Dock Leveler Foundation

Traditional dock levelers require steel shims welded under the rear frame, which can lead to costly installation errors and structural fatigue. The Safe TFrame design eliminates these risks by ensuring a precise, durable, and long-lasting foundation.

Key Features of a Reliable Dock Leveler

  • Greater structural strength and long-term durability
  • Minimized installation errors for improved efficiency
  • Ensures a seamless transition from warehouse floor to dock leveler
  • Prevents structural fatigue caused by incorrect installation

Unlimited Float Hold-Down for Efficiency

The Kelley CM Dock Leveler features an unlimited float hold-down system that requires minimal effort to walk down into position. This advanced design reduces component wear, increases reliability, and lowers long-term maintenance costs.

Hydra-Cam Lip: Smooth & Controlled Dock Operation

The Hydra-Cam system ensures smooth, controlled lip extension at the top of the ramp movement. A hydraulic shock-absorbing cylinder regulates the descent, improving safety and operational efficiency.

As climate-controlled warehouses become more prevalent, companies require solutions to maintain clean, efficient, and sustainable operations. Products like Kelley Vertical Dock Levelers and HRL Hydraulic Rail Levelers enable optimized workflows while promoting safety and sustainability.

Kelley’s Vertical Dock Levelers allow for an inward-opening trailer door design that provides multiple benefits. With the doors opening inward after parking at the dock, less cool air escapes the trailer, reducing energy costs. Theft is deterred with limited access to parked trailers. Loading and unloading times improve as well.

Overall, the Kelley Vertical Dock Leveler optimizes the dock workflow. Combined with the HRL Hydraulic Rail Leveler for accessible trailer access, these products empower businesses to maximize productivity and sustainability. The inward-opening trailer door design enabled by the Vertical Leveler minimizes energy waste, theft, and loading times.

As climate-controlled warehouse environments become the norm, Kelley’s Vertical and Hydraulic Rail Levelers promote efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Innovative products like these allow companies to optimize their warehouse workflows.
