5. Customised Dock Leveler Dock Leveler with platform size 2000 (width) x 5000 (Length) mm. Case Study One of our customers required to load and unload the material from the various vehicle bed heights , from the fixed loading bay. As because earlier loading bay was fixed ,Truck / container was not able to use Material Handling Machines, due to which frequency of loading / unloading became very less .Earlier if the truck bed didn’t match to the loading bay , too much time would be required to load / unload the vehicle. Team jost’s studies the applications and suggested to use a Dock leveler to bridges the gap between the vehicle bed and the loading bay. Thus the loading and unloading becomes seamless with the help of Material Handling Machines. As a result of it, the frequency of loading and unloading became very fast.
