CA 2439979

A dock leveler (14), for bridging the gap between a loading dock platform (10) and a vehicle (12) at the dock, includes an adjustably overlapping lip (18) and ramp (16) that provide a traffic surface of variable length to accommodate situations where there is only a limited amount of space for the lip to rest on the rear of the vehicle. The lip pivots and translates from a stored, pendant orientation to an operative orientation with a range of extended positions. In the stored position, one edge of the lip protrudes above the deck to inhibit material handling equipment from accidentally driving over the edge of the deck when a vehicle is not parked adjacent the dock leveler.

L'invention concerne un niveleur de quai (14), destiné à ponter le trou entre la plate-forme du quai de chargement (10) et un véhicule (12) au niveau du quai. Ce niveleur de quai comprend une lèvre de chevauchement ajustable (18) et une rampe (16) offrant une surface de trafic de longueur variable afin de s'adapter à des situations dans lesquelles il y a uniquement un espace limité d'appui de la lèvre à l'arrière du véhicule. La lèvre pivote et effectue un mouvement de translation entre un orientation pendante, pliée et une orientation de fonctionnement avec un éventail de positions dépliées. Dans la position pliée, un bord de la lèvre fait saillie sur le quai afin d'empêcher que le matériel de manutention ne roule accidentellement par-dessus le bord du quai lorsqu'un véhicule n'est pas stationné à proximité du niveleur de quai.
