Dock levellers are used in sectors where goods are loaded and unloaded daily. Think of logistics & distribution centres, wholesalers and manufacturing companies. Wherever trucks come to docking stations, the dock leveller is a crucial link in the logistics chain and ensures fast loading and unloading processes.

The control unit forms the “brain” of the dock leveller. With intelligent and reliable controls, dock levellers operate faster and more safely. Downtime and damage are avoided, and operators can finish the job efficiently with the push of a button. Reliable traffic lights and dock-lights also provide extra safety.

But what if the dock leveller control fails or even stops functioning completely? What to do if loading and unloading at your customer comes to a standstill?

In combination with our intelligent dock-leveller control RDS-V2, traffic lights make your logistics not only safer, but also faster.
