Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides detailed instructions for the installation of pit frames for dock levellers, specifically focusing on the Frame Fixing 8 (F8) model. It includes specifications, installation procedures, and recommendations for ensuring proper setup and maintenance.
Specifications:
  • Dock leveller dimensions are provided in millimeters, including length (Le), width (Wd), construction height (h), and diagonal (d).
  • Types of pit configurations include Type A (Closed Pit), Type B (Open Pit), and Type C (Pit with compartment for unloading lip’s passing).
  • The permissible tolerance for pit dimensions is ±10 mm, and measurements must be set at right angles.
Installation Procedures:
  • The pit frame is constructed from steel profiles (80x80x8) and must be positioned and fixed into dedicated pits.
  • Reinforcement steels are used to secure the frame, with specifications for materials and dimensions provided.
  • The frame must be plumb, level, and installed at a 90˚ angle, then welded or anchored to the cement or chain-link fence.
Forces Acting on the System:
  • Various forces such as front wheel force (F1), moving lift truck force (F2), and vertical/horizontal forces in hinges and cylinders (F3-F7) are outlined for consideration in reinforced concrete planning.
Recommendations:
  • Type B pit is recommended for easier maintenance access.
  • The cable passing tube should be positioned to allow the worker to observe all dock leveller movements.
  • Ensure the frame ends frontally with the loading bay to avoid inclusion issues.
Warnings:
  • In cases of existing dock levellers with hollow passing, the standard cable length of 7.5 m may be insufficient.
  • Position the cable passing tube on the fuse box side to ensure visibility of dock leveller movements.

Dock levellers - Frame fixing 8-6

Frame fixing 8 The frame has to be plumb and level, installed at 90˚ by its diagonal beams and has to be placed already assembled. It must be then welded and/or anchored to the round elements soaked in the cement or to the chainlink fence. The frame frontally MUST end with the loading bay frontal to avoid problems of dock leveller’s inclusion. This is the smallest frame (at dimensional level) required as surface to install a dock leveller. Optionally, you can also choose bigger dimensions (ex. angle bar 80x120mm) or you can use formworks to prepare the pit. Calculations relating the cement’s...
