The Proof Is In The Design
SINCE 1953, Kelley's vision towards dock leveler design has been to get more out of materials; more strength, dependability and longer life.
Kelley Innovation Provides A Solution.
IN 1978, Kelley introduced the "Lambda" beam, a roll-formed shape that solves the long-
standing problems of other beam designs for dock leveler support by spreading stresses more evenly across the entire structure.
Features:
• Better load carrying and torsional resistance
• Better load stress distribution
• Double-thick steel web for greater stiffness
• Double-wide bottom flange for greater strength
• Closed triangular shape for effec-
tive twist resistance
• Reduced stress and fatigue
• Robotically welded for superior strength and precision quality FOR DECADES all dock levelers installed in a concrete pit have required an installer to place and weld steel shim under the front and rear frame of the dock leveler in order to level the device and provide long-term support. This conventional process can lead to install errors as installers are often working under the dock leveler in a cramped environment and may not use the correct size shim and/or weld the shim properly. The result... the dock leveler can suffer structural fatigue which may lead to expensive repair or replacement.
A SAFER, STRONGER DOCK LEVELER
SafeTFrame Advantages:
•Greater structural strength & durability•Eliminates installation issues common with conventional dock levelers
•Ensures level transition from
warehouse floor to dock leveler
•Eliminates premature structural fatigue due to improperly shimmed/installed dock leveler
The installer adjusts the leveling bolts on the front and rear supports using a standard ½” square head socket.
