Customers can choose from our range of different dock leveller models in numerous designs. Our product portfolio includes both manual and hydraulic dock levellers, enabling each organisation to create a bespoke loading system design adapted to their specific requirements. With our loading ramp, efficiency and work safety can be optimally increased.

By bridging the gap between the building and the vehicle, both the efficiency of loading and the safety and comfort of employees can be significantly increased. The dock leveller, which is housed on the building, is placed on the vehicle by means of a swing or telescopic lip. This means loading can take place across a smooth ramp, eliminating gaps or steps.
Additionally, any potential pinching, stumbling or spraining is also eliminated. Comfort is also increased as goods can be unloaded and moved at ground level. Employees are therefore less burdened and the loading process is significantly accelerated and simplified with the loading ramp.
A high-quality loading dock can significantly enhance the entire loading process, promoting both safety and efficiency. While the specific benefits may vary depending on your loading bay layout, equipment, and the goods being handled, loading docks generally offer a well-rounded improvement. They can minimise workplace injuries, speed up loading times, make the process more comfortable for workers, reduce wear and tear on loading equipment, and contribute to a building's energy efficiency by streamlining the loading process, lowering the length of time doors need to be open to the elements.
All dock levellers from ASSA ABLOY are designed to be easy to maintain, with minimal malfunction rates. Our dock levellers are designed to work reliably and smoothly even with frequent use, thanks to robust components and a low number of wearing parts. This also simplifies operation of the dock leveller, with self-explanatory keys which enable intuitive use without extensive training.
With our service packages, maintenance and repair of your loading bay equipment and systems is carried out as quickly as possible, and without major disruption to day-to-day operation.

Dock levellers are specialised dock levellers used in warehouses and industrial facilities. Their purpose is to bridge the gap between the building and the vehicle, facilitating a stable and secure platform for the loading and unloading of goods at the dock. Dock levellers help improve the efficiency of logistics processes and enhance workplace safety, due to their versatility in terms of dimensions and loading heights, dock levellers can also be integrated almost anywhere.
ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems offers a wide range of dock levellers tailored to your specific needs and requirements. These include both automated and manual dock levellers, each with its unique advantages. For example, automated dock levellers provide greater efficiency and ease of use, while manual dock levellers offer a cost-effective and straightforward solution.
For companies that operate with a variety of vehicle sizes, ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems offers the ASSA ABLOY Combidock. This dock leveller can adjust to different vehicle heights, making it a versatile and flexible solution for businesses with mixed fleets. In general, dock levellers can be designed to meet specific needs, with customisable options for height, width, and design to fit various applications.
Manual and hydraulic dock levellers are two different types of dock levellers, each offering distinct benefits. Manual dock levellers are typically lighter and can be operated manually, making them ideal for situations where loading requirements may vary, and flexibility is needed. Hydraulic dock levellers, on the other hand, are permanently installed and offer higher load capacity and efficiency. They use a hydraulic system to automate the lifting and lowering of the platform, simplifying and speeding up the loading process. While manual dock levellers provide a more affordable solution, hydraulic dock levellers typically offer better performance and are well-suited for high traffic loading bays and heavy loads.
