Product overviewThe hydraulic dock leveller with a 500 mm telescopic lip, model G 9000, provides flexible solutions for end loads and variable vehicle widths. The telescopic lip extends onto the vehicle bed with precise control and runs on four maintenance-free roller bearings to reduce friction. A tapered lip option improves alignment for wider vehicles. The platform (standard 8 mm deck plate) is lifted by two main cylinders with built-in velocity fuses for free-fall protection. Micro-processor controls enable adjustable operation and return-to-dock functionality for safe forklift cross-traffic. Available as dock box and hang-in frame configurations.
G 9000 Features and Benefits- Micro-processor controls with return to dock position — allows easy adjustment to meet specific operating requirements; standard return-to-dock improves safety for forklift cross-traffic. Forced lip retraction if nominal width is over 2000 mm.
- Durable platform construction — box construction with welded support beams and anti-slip deck plate (tread plate).
- Compensation for canted truck beds — compensates up to 100 mm and remains flush with the rear of the pit.
- Telescopic lip — standard 500 mm lip with four maintenance-free roller bearings to reduce friction; tapered lip for nominal widths over 2000 mm; optional telescopic sliding segments available.
- Smooth transition — constant-radius rear hinge, two-point crown control on the front lip hinge and extended lip chamfer for smooth transitions for operators, forklifts and goods.
- Reliable hydraulic system — automatic height adjustment with two main lifting cylinders fitted with built-in velocity fuses (free-fall protection); power pack located at front of platform for easy maintenance.
- Lip cylinder — lip extended by a double-acting lip cylinder for controlled operation.
- Maintenance support bolts — secure the platform and lip during service and maintenance.
- Integral toeguard — full-range toeguard with painted yellow/black warning stripes.
