    摘要: A safety system (16) for a truck loading dock (14) with an elevated platform (18) provides an alarm (26,28) that warns of a hazard at the loading dock such as a forklift operating inside the truck (24) or a falling hazard that may exist due to the dock door (20) being open while a truck is not present at the dock. In cases where a dock's open doorway (12) is protected by a barrier (22) that can be opened or closed, the alarm (26) can be de-activated by closing the barrier. In some embodiments, the safety system includes a remote body sensor (70) that detects when someone (32) or something is near the doorway. In response to the body sensor, a second, more pronounced alarm can warn of more imminent danger where someone on the platform may be too close to an open doorway when a truck is not present.

    摘要: A dock leveler for a truck loading dock includes a pivotal deck that is raised by an inflatable actuator. The actuator includes a pliable upper section that when inflated has a generally vertical cylindrical shape that can provide a heavy deck with substantial columnar support. The actuator also includes a relatively rigid base that is sealingly joined to the pliable upper section such that upper section and the rigid base define an inner chamber of air. A blower for inflating the actuator can be installed inside or outside the actuator. In some embodiments, a valve system reverses the airflow so that the blower can forcibly deflate and compress the actuator up against the bottom of the deck so that the area underneath the actuator can be cleaned.

    摘要: A dock leveler (12) includes a vehicle-engaging pivotal lip (26) extending from the front end (22) of a pivotal deck (16), wherein the lip has one or more unique features that provide a smooth transition for forklifts traveling between the lip and a trailer bed (14) upon which the lip is resting. The smooth transition minimizes jolting and vibration of the forklift and its driver as the forklift wheels pass over the leading edge of the lip. The special features of the lip may include one or more of the following: a curved traffic-bearing surface (42,60,84) terminating at a sharp or blunt leading edge (34 a-g), a traffic-bearing surface (70) that includes both flat (50,72) and curved (74) sections, a multifaceted traffic-bearing surface (62) that approximates a curved surface, a rubber or plastic shock absorbing element, (78,86,114), an articulated nose piece (98) at the lip's leading edge, and a main lip plate (106,116) that is coplanar with the deck's traffic surface (36) (i.e., zero crown angle).

    摘要: A hydraulic system for operating dock levelers, vehicle restraints, and other types of loading dock equipment includes one or more features that prolong the life of the hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic reservoir with a desiccant filled breather cap or a hermetically sealed pliable reservoir minimizes the hydraulic fluid's exposure to condensation and atmospheric moisture. The system can be used for prolonging the life of both biodegradable and- non-biodegradable hydraulic fluids. In some embodiments, the system includes an acceptably biodegradable fluid having a combination of properties that makes the fluid particularly suitable for loading dock equipment.
