Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered by our technical team.

Rudhar Group supplies a complete range of loading bay equipment including mechanical and hydraulic dock levellers, inflatable and foam-filled dock shelters, dock seals (foam compression type), dock bumpers (rubber and UHMWPE), wheel guides and vehicle restraints, dock lights, and loading bay doors.

A dock leveller is a hinged steel platform installed at the dock face that bridges the height difference between the warehouse floor and the truck bed floor. Truck beds vary in height by 150-450 mm depending on load and vehicle type. Without a dock leveller, a forklift cannot safely transition between the warehouse floor and the truck bed.

A mechanical dock leveller is activated by a pull chain with no power supply required. A hydraulic dock leveller is operated by a push-button control panel using a hydraulic cylinder electrically. Hydraulic levellers are safer, smoother to operate, and preferred for heavy-duty and high-frequency applications.

A dock shelter seals the gap between the building opening and the sides and top of the truck body during loading, preventing rain, wind, insects, dust and temperature from entering the warehouse. Inflatable dock shelters use air-filled cushions that conform to the truck shape for a better seal.

UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) dock bumpers are mounted on the dock face to protect the building structure from impact when trucks reverse into the dock. UHMWPE is significantly more impact-resistant and wear-resistant compared to rubber bumpers, extending service life 3-5 times.

The dock leveller size is determined by the range of truck bed heights that will use the dock, the maximum forklift load that will travel across the leveller, the forklift type, and the required frequency of use. Rudhar Group team conducts a site assessment and recommends the appropriate specification.
